Old season lambs have hit record prices over the past month but values are now heading south as more spring lambs come on the market Following weeks of record prices and averages for prime old season lambs sold live and deadweight, values have headed south this week, as numbers and quality declines and more spring lambs appear on the market. However, with last week’s GB average rising another 4.7p on the previous seven days to level at 312.3p per live kg, the trade ended on a high – being 96p per kg above the price achieved in the same week in 2020 and more than £1 higher than the five-year average.
