Dakota Lamb Growers Cooperative

Greetings Fellow Shepherds,

Well here we are almost at Easter time already and what a nice mild winter we have endured so far this year.  Most producers are well underway lambing, and I hope for a successful lamb crop for our producers with much better and hopefully steady prices for our lambs and culls.  Ramadan has definitely brought excellent prices for these 80 – 100 lb lambs, as well as cash fat lambs in the $2.10 – $2.30 range. Cull ewes have finally seen a nice rally with your average culls that are in the 158 lb range bringing $0.65 – $1.00 lb with these heavy ewes over 300 lbs bringing $1.10+ lb.
