Industry demand for sheep is very strong and prices are rising quickly. Lambs are approaching US$ 5.20 per kilo, but the greatest interest is in adult animals, both ewes and wethers. These are paid at the price on the consignors’ sheet for the loading week plus 10 cents per kilo if carcasses weigh less than 27 kilos, and at the ACG price for heavier carcasses. Therefore, the previous heavy penalty of more than US$ 1 per kilo for carcasses over 24 kilos has been set aside, at least for the time being.
