Another large show of 3,098 prime lambs were forward
to the usual ring of buyers but no one very keen to buy lambs as
supply this week has by far outstripped demand, causing the trade
to take a dramatic downwards spiral nationwide since Tuesday, resulting
in todays very disappointing average of 175p, although this average
was still better than many others seen through the country.
Hopefully
this collapse in trade will be short lived and the lamb price will
level out at a sensible trade for everyone.
