Scottish lamb prices increased but volumes are low, says QMS
According to Stuart Ashworth, Quality Meat Scotland Director of Economics Services, the poor spring weather and lack of grass has slowed the rate at which these new season lambs are reaching the market, with volumes considerably lower than last year.
“Weather conditions have also contributed to the volume of hoggs on the market continuing at a higher rate than last year and they, similarly, are benefiting from firm prices,” said Mr Ashworth.
Influencing the market place is the timing of the Muslim Ramadan festival which began on 17 May and continues until 15 June and historically provides support for sheep meat at the start and end of the festival period.
