Presume you mean to the factory rather than factory weight lambs in a mart.

I'd say depends if they were getting meal or not also.

Probably 45kgs be there or thereabouts

Jesus nothing wrong with 7.10 lads, ye have short memories. The first of mine are starting to come fit now. If ya can get a lamb into 140-150 without creep your laughing. I didn't think around lambing time they would be around the 7 mark approaching July.

True but the factories, butchers, wholesalers need to be reminded that our costs have gone up substantially. 150 this week probably has the same buying power of 130 the same week last year.

So your saying that for anyone killing 500 lambs say for a example, that's its costing 10k extra this year and that they have nothing extra out of it compared to last year? Go away out of that, costs have increased but not that much!!

Price is dropping so fast now and lambs only putting on maybe a kilo dw per week,
30c drop in price is €6 one kilo gain is only €6.
We're killing at 40kg

What I'm saying is that practically everything that you put your hand on from when you open your eyes in the morning til you turn off the light switch at night has gone up one thing with another around 15%. I don't think I'd be too far out with that.

Do you mean in a farming context only in the last year.

If you mean absolutely everything including food for example i think inflation is under 2% and definitely nowhere near 15%.

I don't know exactly how inflation is calculated but I know that, feed, fertiliser, diesel, fencing materials including gates, wire, posts and consumables, plastic, building materials, machinery and machinery parts are all gone up and gone up substantially more than 2% in many cases.

Fertiliser is up around 50-60 euro/ton on 2020. Feed up another 40-50 euro/ton. It takes the shine off lamb prices fairly lively.

But god forbid anyone would "talk down" the surge in global food prices by mentioning the increased costs and farmer's margins staying the same.

Was watching a bit online earlier. Was in a bad reception area and it was hit and miss.

Stores and lighter factory lambs seems to be back about 7 euro on the week.

Anything heavier attracting butcher interest were a good trade.

€7 all in. Larry Maith an fear.

They must of gave a bit of a pull again?
135 looked to be top of the trade in mart for factory weight lambs.

See ram lambs are wanted for export by a wicklow based company. Over 40kg. Might underpin the price for a while longer.

Lambs back nearly 20 euro in mart today alright.
45kgs only making 125 euro 😞
Same lambs were making 145 just over a week ago.
Wonder what price they'll be next week

They got a bit of a burning a few years ago. I thought they wouldn’t bother again. Good news in fairness.

There has to be resistance/bounce back. Nothing can drop that as quickly with only marginal increase in supply. Icm didn’t kill yesterday. Lambs are thriving no doubt but it’s the singles coming and weaning point is nigh upon us.

So the dealers buying them for 125 will make at least 15 euro a head on them just to deliver to the factory

Feckers they are putting the knife in now after the high prices from last winter and spring. It would need to steady a bit now .
