I was listening to Jamie McKay on The Country radio show last week [early November]. He was talking about the retail price of a rack of lamb.
Farmers in this country are selling their lambs for about $6 per kilogram. In case you’re wondering, that’s not a lot of money. The average healthy lamb will weigh between 16 and 18 kilos and so in round figures we’re talking about a farmer doing a whole lot of work for $100 per animal.
