Finish Lamb Stock

Ideally OLMC requires lambs of 13~21kg carcass weight of the best conformation possible, with a 2~3H fat cover in order to meet base price or better. The lamb must have valid Organic and Farm Assurance Certification.

Structured Approach To Marketing

Producers marketing stock through the Co-operative are required to submit a forecast. Stock is booked in advance to avoid unnecessary delay and reduce likelihood of stock falling out of specification. It also helps in planning our marketing strategy as well as providing our processor customers with a more consistent supply.

Producer Performance and Benchmarking

OLMC strongly supports industry initiatives such as the Red Meat Industry Forum (RMIF) Benchmarking programmes, also English Beef and Lamb Executive (EBLEX) Better Returns Programme.

OLMC exclusively produces for its members their own quarterly period analysis of stock marketed. This confidential analysis is benchmarked against the other producers and enables members to track improvements from year to year or perhaps to gauge the impact of a change in policy on the performance of their stock.
