Trade was brisk once again this week in Elphin, although maybe slightly back on the highs of last week’s sale.
Lambs weighing 45kg to 50kg traded for between €2.80/kg and €2.90/kg for the most part.
For fancy ewe lambs with breeding potential, there was even more on offer, with as much as €3/kg paid on occasion and a top price of €152 paid for a pen of shapely ewe lambs.
