[QUOTE="Agriland RSS, post: 7653024, member: 105608"] Written by Michael Geary from Agriland Lamb prices in [URL='https://www.agriland.co.uk/farming-news/category/sheep/']Northern Ireland[/URL] (NI) have strengthened over the past week – similar to what has been seen in the Republic of Ireland (ROI). Quotes ended this week on 480-510p/kg up to a 21kg carcass weight. Quotes for next week are expected to strengthen once again, with quotes for Monday (July 12) expected to be in the region of 500-530p/kg, according to the Livestock and Meat Commission (LMC). Looking at throughput last week, once again an increase was seen – with the kill amounting to 11,040 head. Overall, this brings the total throughput to 190,705 in 2021. The LMC said that this is a 9.4% increase from the same period as last year. Meanwhile, [URL='https://www.agriland.ie/farming-news/exports-of-sheep-for-direct-slaughter-from-ni-to-the-roi-continues-to-fall/']exports of lambs to the ROI for direct slaughter[/URL] last week increased to 4,059 head. For the year to date, exports of hoggets/lambs to the ROI now stand at 94,305 head – which is a substantial decrease of 30.8% from the same period in 2020. The average deadweight lamb price in NI last week was 482.7p/kg – which was back 48.7p/kg from the previous week – however, prices look to be bouncing back – with demand from the Eid al-Adha a driving force behind this increased demand. [SIZE=5][B]Marts see lamb prices improve too[/B][/SIZE] The LMC reported good numbers of lambs passing through marts this past week, with a stronger trade also seen compared to the previous week. In Kilrea on Monday (July 5) 630 lambs sold from 456-553p/kg, compared to 410 lambs last week selling from 427-470p/kg. While at Markethill this week a larger entry of 960 lambs sold from 480-520p/kg. The trade for cull ewes remained firm this week ranging from £132-198/head across marts, the LMC added.
