The lamb kill is still just higher than normal and meat company margins remain under pressure with the main overseas markets still lacklustre. As a result lamb prices have remained steady with most reported in the $5.55-5.65/kg range (gross incl wool/pelt/presentation etc). Companies may well be prepared to reduce capacity rather than chase harder for lamb in the short term.
