I buy two whole lambs a year I used to pay £120 each but they went up to £150 each because of the processing price went up I buy directly from the farmer he keeps 12 or so lambs back a year for himself an locals who buy direct Think you’ll see an increase on that price……..our lambs were averaging £135 a pice at markets last Spring, stick a £50 kill & cut charge on & you’re at £185 per lamb. 15 hours ago, jukel123 said: Supermarkets drive down prices, farmers respond by driving down on animal,welfare. Its a vicious circle. Think you’re right on that & it’s now hit the bottom. Now they’re looking to increase margins through screwing customers as opposed to screwing suppliers (cause they’ve screwed them all they can). People need to start looking elsewhere as opposed to automatically pulling into the Tesco/Sainsbury’s/Asda/ Morrisons car park 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
