[QUOTE="@dlm, post: 6762294, member: 120162"] That is true, but I think if my take on supermarket buying and selling is right, that a high price on lamb here, and a lack of forward bought lamb due to lack of numbers available from nz, means shelf space will not be given to lamb. Consumers sadly this day and age are not like us, love a piece of lamb one week but don’t see it for a month they won’t complain or miss it, more forgotten what lamb was and desire what was available last and this week and that is the reality. Unless as [USER=15296]@FordFarmer[/USER] backed me up with his comments, a regular convenience burger or sausage or English shepherds pie, most supermarkets shepherds pie still nz lamb, a way to shift lamb and minimalise price drop if no joints presented on shelves, which creates 20 ppk drop in dw, then floods of unfit lambs in lw following weeks as the end is nigh...it always happens so I’m not far off mark. Problem is we have no back up plan, prices dictated to us after years of selling in same way,now all our meat more or less is by supermarkets and hard to turn the tide [/QUOTE]
