Prices paid for hoggets, cull ewes and spring lambs were in the region of €15 to €20 per head on average stronger than equivalent quotes offered by factories
Kildare Chilling continues to set the pace in the sheep trade with the factory quoting a base of €9.10/kg plus 10c/kg QA for hoggets and €9.40/kg plus 10c/kg QA for spring lambs for Wednesday’s kill.
Back a little on their peak, calf numbers held at a similar level to last week at Bandon Mart this week and trade settled after last week's difficult weather.
Hoggets continue to dominate the sales offering, with numbers boosted by producers selling live to avail of intense competition and ewe hoggets appearing in bigger numbers.
