    are still paying a 5 euro for hoggets up to 23 kg?

    sold a few sheep in mart today. A full mouth vendden ram @102. 3 handy sized ewes @€;97 and 45 kg lambs @ €115.

    Seen fat ewes bring up to €120 and 119 for tops of lambs.

    Roughly what kinda weight were the ewes at €120...must have being good strong sheep?
    Big aul Suffolk Wicklow cheviot cross. Definitely 100kg+. They were shorn too. Poor shearer must had a hernia after.

    When I hear of ewes making that kind of money in comparison to good factory lambs making the same price or less....it gets me thinking 'What are we getting served as 'lamb' in some restaurants?'!!!!

    Probably a silly question but what's reason for such a price difference?
