The sheep and goat market in the Midwest for the week ending January 29th was mixed to lower. Texas noted the sharpest drop in price across several auctions. Northern sales saw limited receipts as a major winter storm blanketed several states with deep snow. Some in the industry are keeping a close eye on the coming week’s prices to see if the late winter high has been established ahead of Spring. Passover/Pesach and Easter are now just over a month away and buyers for these holidays may already have much of their orders filled and are holding to see if the market softens before buying their final needs.
