[QUOTE="Frank-the-Wool, post: 7608714, member: 699"] Depends on the value of the pound. There is going to be a period of volatility in all commodities as supplies will be more at the mercy of world prices. We are already seeing the beginning of this in the sheep sector as the world supply is short. So in the short term supply decreases as price rises until there is resistance to the price points. I had lambs cancelled for next week to a local wholesaler as they could get lambs 50p per kg cheaper than I was prepared to sell for, which was already 30p below last weeks prices dead. That is £10 to £15 less than the market price this week. Exports can drive the price again when the dead price falls to around £6.00. [/QUOTE]
