"Contrary to some reports from the end of last week, lambs today were dearer on the week by 8.7p per kilo. The dry spell of weather has had an effect on liveweights, however those producers with plenty flesh and weight on their lambs are obtaining a premium price in the live ring with many pens achieving 260.0p per kilo. Ewes were in very short supply, producers with cull feeding ewes are encouraged to market them any Tuesday for maximum returns.
