Despite complaining that trading became difficult at the end of the sale last week, the factory boss actually raised the spring lamb and lamb estimates by 5-20 c / kg.
His week, however, they lower the lamb’s quote by 10-20 c / kg, but the price of culling remains the same.
In addition to farmers’ worries, Kildeachiring, the last factory to offer official hoget quotes, has reduced 20 c / kg from hoget offerings.
Kildea also lowered the lamb estimate by 20 c / kg to achieve a quality guarantee of 8.00 + 10 c / kg.
Dawn Ballyhaunis lowered the lamb estimate by 10c / kg to 7.90 + 10c / kg QA and the two ICMs by 15c / kg to 7.80 + 10c / kg QA.
The ones on the north side of the border are not so good, with spring factory estimates ranging from 29-34c / kg to € 7.37-7.43 / kg.
However, due to the weakening of Sterling last week, its price dropped to 7.31-7.37 euros / kg, making the imports more attractive to the factory.
According to data from the Livestock Meat Commission, the number of sheep born in Northern Ireland and slaughtered in the Republic by June 4 has increased by 22,695 compared to the same period last year.
So far this year, a total of 123,480 sheep born in the north have been purchased by southern processors for direct slaughter, compared to 100,785 sheep from the same period in 2021.
Sean McNamara, chairman of the ICSA sheep, said sheep farmers were indignant at this increase in imports.
“We know this was a long-standing factory tactic to reduce prices,” he said.
“But it’s really hard to see imports increase further this year, facing a desperate struggle for farmers to survive in the face of significant cost increases.”
In terms of price, Sean reported that Carew sold at 4.00-4.20 / kg, Hoget at 7.30-7.40 / kg and Lambs at 8.00-8.10 / kg.
He describes the reduction of lamb citations as follows: “
IFA counterpart Kevin Comiskey also mentioned the Eid al-Adha Festival, highlighting its traditional positive impact on the market.
On the broader question of where to get the best prices, Mr. Comiskey once again asks farmers to “resist the factory’s attempt to cut prices and consider mart outlets where raw export purchases support trade.” Prompted.
