Ram lambs for export

The second Eid festival take's place on the 21st August, lambs are probably being gathered for that.

The last three years they wanted ram lambs well fleshed from 42 to 50 kg and they paid 2.30/kg so i doubt them lighter lambs are for eid

You’d be surprised. I’ve sold lambs deadweight for that festival before, 16kg- 19kg deadweight is what they were looking for ( and nothing fatty) to give the end user an affordable product.

Hopefully the shippers start getting active, the factories acting the hoor big time, they reckon lambs be 4 80 end of the week, waste of timevat that money and the year thats in it

Ya. 102 average price this week. Leaves a lot to be desired

Got a text last night looking for ram lambs 32 to 40 kg,,,,,,,no price as yet.

Can anyone remember how long you had to have no movements into the flock to be allowed to export??

Didn't think long tails were a need... they weren't last year but I hear they prefer the rams the way they were born not tailed or castrated. Any man know prices

so the lad i was talking to today is quoting "€2.10/kg" and a bit more ........when pushed on a bit more he didnt know !!!!!!!

deal has to be done in next 7 days.......no sign of someone up the country to buy lambs for export

Wouldn't let anything go here for 2.10kg better prices in the mart.

I told him he wont be getting many lambs at that price.....45kg only worth €94.50..................

Considering the dry spell and likelihood less farmers from the midlands will be buying Store lambs to finish this year the store trade isn’t bad at all.Was over visiting family friends in Leitrim last week.We took a look into Manorhamilton mart last Wednesday, good quality forward stores around 38kg were making over 80 euro.That would be much the same as last years prices.

One factor which might lead to less customers for Store lambs is if farmers that usually buy store lambs go growing ‘Catch’ crops on the ground the lambs would have being bought to go onto.
