As lamb prices hit record highs, Charlotte Smith hears that shoppers will soon refuse to pay more for the meat. Quality Meat Scotland say the decline in the global flock and a booming export market continue to drive the price up. Farming Today visits a Shropshire sheep farm to see how the harsh winter has affected the pregnant ewes, witnesses the first breaths of a new-born lamb.

And as the price of hay climbs due to poor harvests, some merchants are having to scour Europe or even further afield for their supplies. There are reports of horses suffering, even dying, as their owners cannot afford to feed them.
