The lamb prices that have steadily risen since May have finally slowed down and seem to have stabilised. The best end has dropped considerably but saddles are still holding their own. Beef has also been fairly stable for a few weeks now, which is a breath of fresh air to us all and from what we have been told they look to stay that way for the foreseeable future. After the horsemeat scandal, supermarkets are now in the process of switching to UK pork, so this has in turn put pressure on domestic production which as we all know has affected the market price. That said, due to the strong relationships we have with both our pork suppliers, we aren’t currently in a position where we need to implement any increases.
