In this episode, Agriland deputy news editor Francess McDonnell, speaks to sheepmeat and livestock manager with Bord Bia, Seamus McMenamin about the current record sheep prices that farmers are getting.

Seamus discusses how Easter and Ramadan are helping to drive the demand for lamb and what the current position is on the supply front. And with possibly lamb higher prices on the horizon might that tempt some farmers to sell their breeding ewes?

The AgriFocus podcast series takes a closer look at some of the key issues that directly impact on farmers, rural communities and the agri-sector.
