Reversal

Lambs are trading at the lower end of the market from €6.15/kg to €6.20/kg. Producer groups and sellers handling higher numbers are pushing returns to €6.25/kg to €6.30/kg, while at the top end of the market prices remain at €6.35/kg to €6.40/kg, although some producers are facing more challenges in negotiating the higher prices.
