already above last years peak price and 10,000 less killed this year so far

does this mean there's less people doing early lamb?

Oh pure hardship and no reward. I actually don't know anyone doing it now.

Lambman

Lambs around 50kg making €130+ in mart yesterday but lighter lambs 43-46kg making €100 or little more... a sign prices won't last maybe or just no confidence in the factorys?

Robson99

Any update on factory prices this week ?

Great money yes, but they've cost a lot to get here, they're a year old now and there was very little spare grass this winter

lambs have done remarkable well in spite on the weather , we sent away a few born 20th Jan on wards between 39 and 42 kgs mostly singles , we kept them moving every few days, to avoid poaching more than anything

no meal fed to the ewes, lambs got creep

cashed a couple empty ewe hoggetts and cull ewes as well,

razor8

Got up to €129 for cull ewes in factory this week & €147 for 2 hoggets. Only upside to this spring

We sent two hoggets (born March last year) to Kildare Chilling today. They both lost lambs and prolapsed along the way, so signed their own cull certs!

Can’t do much about it either way, but will they get killed as hoggets or ewes?
