Auctions may help to boost lamb price
Published January 29th, 2008
NFU Cymru has kicked off discussions internally on how farmers might market their finished lambs more efficiently and, in particular, how auction markets may be able to help farmers achieve the best possible returns for their livestock.
The issue is acquiring ever greater prominence given the severe pressures in the lamb market in the second part of last year and the desperate need to lift returns to a level that will leave farmers with a margin over their production costs. NFU Cymru recognises that the auction markets will have a key role to play and is keen to work with them in bringing this about. icwales.icnetwork.co.uk
