[QUOTE="Agriland RSS, post: 7617156, member: 105608"] [img]https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/files.thefarmingforum.co.uk/images/agrilanduk.JPG[/img] Written by Michael Geary Lamb prices in Northern Ireland have edged back similar to down south this past week, with prices during the week easing by a substantial 15-20p/kg. The Livestock and Meat Commission (LMC) reported that base quotes from major lamb processing plants ranged from 580p/kg up to 590p/kg early in the week. However, as the days progressed, quotes came back to 565-570p/kg – an easing of 15-20p/kg. The LMC added that similar quotes are expected next week – as supplies continue to increase.

During the same period last year, 9,831 lambs were processed. A further 3,496 lambs were [URL='https://www.agriland.ie/farming-news/figures-show-a-further-tightening-of-ni-lambs-coming-south-for-direct-slaughter/']exported from NI to plants in the south for direct slaughter[/URL] last week – which was an increase of 1,374 lambs from the previous week. The total lamb/hogget throughput during the last 12 weeks totalled 79,812 head – which is an increase of 8,125 head (or 11.3%) from the 71,687 lambs/hoggets processed during the same period in 2020.

However, despite the easing of prices over the past few weeks, lamb prices continue to stay well ahead of previous years (as seen above), the LMC added. During the same week as last year, the NI deadweight lamb price was 472.7p/kg – which is 104p/kg less than prices this year during the same period. The LMC said that this equates to a difference of £22 on a 21kg carcass. While last week’s deadweight lamb price was 150.2p/kg ahead of the same week in 2019 – equating to a difference of £32 on a 21kg carcass.
