The Slaughter numbers for January have been released by DEFRA - please go to the Market Prices page on the AQM Extranet site - strikingly sheep slaughterings have dropped in the region of 25%.

PIGS
Generally stand on today...............................
BEEF
Trade is very quiet with poor demand and prices remain under pressure led by the live markets.............................
LAMB
The price has seen more pressure this week........................
