Donegal breeders Jack and Sean O’Brien saw the hammer fall at €2,800 for their champion ram lamb Aileach View Kala, at the Beltex premier sale in Tullamore last Friday.
Some very fancy prices have been reported this week, with heavy fleshed ewes ranging in cases from €210 to €240 and rising as high as €260 to €290 in isolated cases.
Australian prices have increased to the equivalent of upwards of €5/kg, but New Zealand farmers remain in big trouble, with farmgate returns at just €3.70/kg.
A number of plants have dropped their base quote below €7/kg, but there are no lambs moving below this level, with agents exhibiting a greater appetite for lambs this week.
There is more life in the beef trade across Northern Ireland, as supplies continue to tighten. The lamb trade has finally settled after downward price pressure.
