The spring lamb trade burst into life last week, with top prices at sheep marts breaking the €200 mark.
The general run of top prices at sales last week for spring lambs varied quite a bit, but went from about €190/head up to €220/head at sales that saw a bustling trade.
While sales that still saw a very good trade for spring lambs but didn’t see the skyrocket prices that other sales saw, witnessed top prices from €170-185/head.
Prices that reached the €200 mark were seen at Kilkenny and Tullow Marts where prices topped €211/head and €214/head respectively.
