Called into roscrea sheep sale earlier on the way home from the factory

Wasn't let in as numbers by ringside were limited but chatting to a couple of people, trade well back on the week for stores, heavier lambs holding up better.

Jeez nothing wrong with those prices. The lads that bought them won’t have much out of them but that’s not your problem

Very good prices there Ormond,would say those 35kg lambs had a good cover on them so wouldn’t take an awful length of time for the buyer to put into factory weights if on good aftergrass.

What breed were the lambs?

Enniscorthy matt had very few good factory lambs and definitely a lot better than quotes. 50kg €115 47kg €110

Ballyhaunis was 5.10 up to 21.5kg today so very similar

Sami23 · 06-08-2020 11:05PM

45kg's making €100 in mart today.

JJayoo · 07-08-2020 10:40AM

Any idea on how long Kildare chilling will be closed for?

What do lads do with these lambs that they pay over 100 euro for? Is it all butchers market?

I got €106 for 43.5 kg lambs in camolin yesterday.
When I go to the factory and waiting for my cheque, a dealer comes into the factory in the evening from the mart and I wouldn't be surprised if he's told to buy the lambs whatever. He always has a full load of lambs.

At a minimum, a week. Could be much longer

No could be 2 weeks If all workers have to isolate

JJayoo · 07-08-2020 05:04PM

I'm assuming lambs will take a hit with the factory closure, any excuse to drop prices, but there might not be much change in cull ewe prices, am doing a big clear out and have some ready for the chop

murrak123 · 16-08-2020 06:08PM

Anyone have any quotes for this week comming? Seemed to be a bit of a lift in dowra on sat for factory lambs according to there report. ?

Young95 · 16-08-2020 08:43PM

Anyone know when Kildare are back killing again?

weatherbyfoxer · 16-08-2020 10:54PM

possibly after next weekend at the earliest

k mac · 18-08-2020 10:38AM

When killing lambs in the factory are you paid whatever the price is up to 21.5 kg and that's it. I mean is there any grading like EUROP with cattle, or just if you are getting say £5 euro a kg you get that regardless x21.5.

Depends on a few things including how plentiful lamb is, the type of lamb, whether you're in a producer group with an agreed spec/weight, etc.

In my experience, the grading of lambs is nowhere near as complex/detailed as the grading of cattle.

Others on here might have more experience, but all else being equal I'd be guessing you'll only get a cut in euro/kg if you have a lamb that's like a balloon or one that's skin and bone on the other end of the scale.
