UK Cattle and Sheep Prices Hold Firm in Latest Market Update
UK livestock prices remain firm as supply stays tight
UK cattle and sheep markets remain firm as tight supply continues to support prices.
According to the latest weekly update from the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board, prime cattle prices remain historically strong despite relatively subdued slaughter numbers. Limited availability of finished cattle is continuing to underpin market values.
In the sheep trade, lamb prices have also held firm with seasonal supply remaining relatively tight. Demand from processors and retailers has helped maintain strong levels across the market.
The update suggests that livestock availability will remain a key driver of price direction in the coming weeks, with kill numbers and seasonal supply patterns continuing to shape the outlook.
