[QUOTE="Frank-the-Wool, post: 5602420, member: 699"] The story was that the supermarkets and abattoirs all believed the AHDB forecast that there were all these extra lambs/hoggets and that the price would stay low in the lead up to Easter. So a couple of the supermarkets contracted in Legs of lamb at a price where they could sell at "half price" what ever the full price was to start with!! The problem as we all now know is that these extra lambs did not exist and there were no supplies from anywhere else in the world so the export demand was also very high which caused the price spike. I don't think they will be relying on AHDB statistics in the future to do contract deals!! [/QUOTE]
