Sheep slaughter rebounds

Sheep slaughter saw a strong recovery compared to previous weeks. In the latest week, 11,828 head were processed, according to INAC, well above the six-week average of 7,400 head. Lambs accounted for 7,086 head (60% of the total), followed by ewes with 3,188 head (27%). The most active plants last week were: San Jacinto (5,108), Las Piedras (3,835), and Oferan (2,346).

Trading in the sheep market was limited at the start of the week due to “very tight supply,” a trader told WBR.
