That's weird, coz the prices are still so high they're out of reach

[@cherylbradbury4875]

Farmers are consumers are missing out, they get less for their sheep but we are still paying high prices at the shops. I love lamb but just can't afford it still.

[@Wolf-yw7en]

So why is it that we can’t see the oversupply of lamb translate to affordable meat at the supermarket? Sounds like a grift by a lot of middlemen.

Charge $25 kilo for chops and what do you expect, greedy cntz

[@geneshepherd2962]

I gave up farming. You work like a dog, you fight weather, bureaucrats, and your paid crap by the big food chains and then they sell it at top dollar. A real estate agent with a couple of clicks of a button lists a house and after 5 to ten hours of easy work walks away with thousands. We need more real estate agents. Their work is more important.

[@scholarlyreader383]

Price dropped that is bull shit. .we have buying whole lamb for years...even seven years ago. I bought lamb for $175. Today the same lamb butchered cost double...so this is bill ahh.. I live in California I will pay $290 for whole lamb. Is a good deal.

Graziers and processors wouldn’t have it so hard if the EU wasn’t running a punitive trade embargo against Australia for the last 51 years.

It sounds like the moon brothers are just starting to learn what’s wrong with mono culture farming. It also sounds like if you have a good farm with water you are going to be in the minority… Perhaps I should be selling my irrigated farmland.

[@intuitivediane]

. C’mon australia do better WHO and where are These properties going to ?

[@sarcasmo57]

That wasn't rapping.

[@NATOSucks-lv4zj]

Send your lambs to Egypt they'll sell for at least 10 dollars a kilo

[@AlgoNudger]

No need to worry. Bill Gates will buy it soon. 😂😂😂
