IFA National Sheep Chairman John Lynskey has said the lamb trade is very steady this week with strong Christmas demand.
He said factories are paying a base price of €4.80/kg with top prices of €4.85/kg paid.
There was a strong kill last week but this is equally met by strong Christmas demand and the same is expected this week.
Ewes are making from €2.50 to €2.60/kg.
