Sheep
Over the past 10 days, marts across the country have put in place strict social distancing measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
The recent beef protests have had a significant impact on the sheep trade in the past week, with the demand easing for factory-fit lambs.
Demand is strong and a price of up to €5.70/kg has been reported for large lots of lambs. Farmers should look around for quotes when selling.
