Prices are being strongly influenced by the quality of lambs offered and in particular the level of flesh cover. / Patrick Browne
The sheep trade has recorded another positive week of trading. The week started off in an excellent fashion on Monday, with agents keen to compensate for a relatively low level of lambs coming on stream over the weekend.
There were murmurs in sales on Tuesday and Wednesday that factory agents were being afforded less purchasing power and while some sales may have started with slightly less intensity, normal service soon resumed, with agents not willing to miss out on numbers.
