The sheep meat market continues to rise. Despite only three large packers currently operating in this segment (Frigocerro, Las Piedras, and San Jacinto) following the exit of Somicar and Bamidal, demand is strong and paying higher prices. There is interest in mutton, with ewes at around US$ 3.50 per kilo for carcasses up to 24 kg and US$ 3.20 for carcasses from 24 to 30 kg. Lambs are paid US$ 4.25 per kilo carcass weight.
