    Where are you buying your meat, got this off the Irish independent of the 19 feb, farmers are getting 5.50/kilo
    ''Last week, a leg of Irish lamb in Tesco cost €12.99 per kg and Irish lamb loin chops cost €18.99 a kilo. In Dunnes Stores, a leg of Irish lamb was priced at €9.29 per kg and Irish lamb loin chops per kg were €15.99. In Lidl, a New Zealand-sourced leg of lamb cost €8.99 per kg and its Irish Lamb loin chops were priced at €16.19 a kilo.''

    and farmers are not paid anything for''The rest kidney/liver/neck/shank €20 (probably less)''

    I believe the stuff you haven't costed there, ie skins offal etc more than cover the cost of processing and delivery for the factory and the supermarkets are probably doing it as a loss leader like they do with the milk. We don't need to be concerned as there won't be near enough lamb to supply the markets this year either....

    Well if you knew what Aldi were paying for their "own brand milk" you might look at it a different way

    there has been an 250 to 280 % mark up from what the farmer recd. for a lamb and for what the consumer paid for years, the processors have finally accepted that it is better to sell at small profit than not to sell at all.

    Last year we were providing a freezer ready lamb of at least 25 kg d/w for circa €135.
