Ya I’m some calls gone in and expecting to get similar quotes to yourself. If I do I’ll keep them or send them to mart instead

I went to the mart for the last couple of months eventhough the factory is closer. I found much better prices and completion for them.

The factories are paying their agents and bigger suppliers alot more over the quoted price for the last while imo.

Your on the ball there. €5.40 ain’t where the market is at atm.

Just something my father today reckoned the north sheep might flood the factory with lambs now for a week or two, they're getting very worried over a hard border brexit

Could happen. Even though youd think that things will still operate the same until 29/3 so they would be early coming in now

They pulled them in the UK last week.

Hold tuff folks the lambs are not in it. All Marts last week reported a reduction in numbers.

Ya, they’re acting like they don’t want them, but don’t want to loose them and you going elsewhere either.

Cannt see numbers surfacing anytime soon either. with the messing they did over the last few years, they forced out alot of lads who used to produce the early apring lambs. interesting times ahead.

Yea my father has lambs for a few lads to bring in but they won't take them now til next week, they're just acting the hoor

Looks like they starting to panic... they are thinking if we paying 5.60 on the 1st of feb, how much will b have to pay 1st of april or May?
So they are playing kick out of touch for a minute to gain some time...
There was always going to b a shortage this year... it finally kicked in..

Got the same answer off them today. Offered to take them next week instead. I said, no thanks, I’d leave it. Lambs will go elsewhere now.

Looks interesting. Anything that shines a light on supermarkets should help with transparency

Yes The factories here are doing the same quoting 5:40 and giving up to 30 cents more
Did you the article Agriland put up the other day prices steady at €5:20
I wonder who was behind that
