Strength Ahead In Lamb Market
Farm Economist William Uhrig of Iowa State University says lamb slaughter declines seasonally and prices should rise, with prices likely to peak above last year. Demand from heavier lambs waning, but more beef on the market may hold prices down. Early lambs should target June and July markets while fall slaughter could push prices lower. Marketing timing aims to maximize returns over feed costs.
