Any idea what I'd get for a batch of 40kg spring ewe lambs in the Mart? Bit short of cash so I might need to make an early trip.

bit early for farmer interest unless they are fancy & catches someone's eye

maybe 98 to 105 depending on quality

I'd be happy if I got over €100. PBNR Lleyns. Might try done deal, never gone down that route.

We had a bus load of farmers from the north here today and two guys from Linden foods were with them, they claimed that they are quoting £3.50/kg for next week....that's around the equivalent of €4.90 and linden is part of ICM

Is that because of the ongoing labelling thing ? Either way it ain't good news.

No butchers worth a damn. Hacketstown closed bar a lorry bringing a few sheep to athleage. They can do what they like.

Your man from Icm in atheneum yesterday confirmed it was 5 euro from Monday. Down 0.60 in the week.

They are down at 5 euro 10 days earlier than last year.

Rumers of it being cut again on monday back to 4.60
the sheep kill is about 10000 ahead of last year so this could explain the early drop in price

Mac Taylor

Sold 45kg lambs for €100 - Athenry, have the last few going tomorrow to the factory. 43kg quote is €4.80. Don't have a lot of them but glad to see the back of them.;)
