How the lamb trade is shaping up for the summer

Seamus McMenamin, sheep sector manager with Bord Bia, joins us on this week’s OviCast as we look at the lamb trade. 

 

Seamus discusses factory throughput this year to date; we discuss what’s been happening with international trade; falling ewe numbers in the UK and Europe and the impact that this could have on lamb trade this summer. 

 

We finish up discussing trends in demand and attracting younger consumers.
