Not really, unless you were selling today.
Export orders cancelled when the borders shut so demand stopped overnight. They will climb again once the dust settles in a week or so. Lambs aren’t there in any number, especially if everyone forgets the notion of killing all their ewe lambs.
We are in volatile waters, and nobody knows what next week will bring. Last few weeks have seen ridiculous, unsustainable prices. This week an overnight shock. In a couple of weeks it will settle somewhere in the middle, at a sensible price.

The people posting on here that the prices last week are the new norm, are living in cloud cuckoo land I’m afraid.

Since when did the borders shut, I cant find that anywhere? External borders outside the EU, yes, but not internal borders inside the single market? EU have just issued a press release today ensuring that all borders within the bloc must remain open for food, in fact went one further and set up 'green lanes' for freight in order to reduce queuing times, less unnecessary check etc..?
