Sheep and Schemes editor from the Irish Farmers Journal, Darren Carty, is on this week’s OviCast to talk about the current sheep trade.
With prices hitting new highs we chat about the trade at the moment.
Darren talks to us about the hogget trade this spring, the start of the early lamb hitting the market and niche markets for milk lamb.
We discuss what’s driving trade, what’s happening on international markets and speculate for what may be in store in the coming months.
We finish up discussing the cull ewe trade and weighing up the option of selling in marts versus direct to abattoirs.
