Lamb prices are not an isolated case, the market price of chicken, eggs, beef have also gone up, but the magnitude of the increase is not so big.

I personally think that the price of lamb and pork prices have been high . Although the price of pork fell some time ago, let people think that will soon return to the original ten yuan meat price era, but soon, many places and the news of pork prices, let a person depressed. Meat is an indispensable food for the people's life, providing important energy for the growth of the human body, and cannot be eaten. Since the price of pork is very high and unacceptable, the people are likely to turn to other meats instead of pork. Before pork is much cheaper than mutton, plus mutton has its stink so that some people can not accept, so mutton is not as big as the sales of pork; now the price of pork has risen, almost the price of mutton and mutton, so naturally, there will be a lot of people choose to buy mutton, because it is better than pork in terms of nutrition, meat quality. The supply and demand in the market ultimately leads to a rise in the price of mutton.

In response to the continued rise in pork prices, China has also come up with many ways to curb the high price of meat, such as issuing stockpiles of pork to alleviate the shortage of fresh pork, and subsidizing the breeding of hogs with safety guards. We hope that pork prices can return to a reasonable price earlier, so that people can eat pork as before.

Sheep farming input economy is much better than the pig , but the input and meat production ratio is far lower than the pig, the pig can grow to more than 400 pounds a year. Sheep can only grow to less than 100 pounds a year, sheep meat rate is low need 2.5 pounds to produce a pound of meat, pig meat rate is high, pig feeding is relatively simple, the disease rate is low. This is also the reason why once upon a time every household in the countryside raised pigs, and only a small number of sheep, pigs only need three meals, but sheep need to go to the free-range, delayed labor.

On the one hand, the demand increases, on the other hand, the supply can not keep up, the price is rising for sure. Coupled with the improvement of health consciousness, eating beef and mutton is far more nutritious than eating pork, chicken, etc., many people are more willing to eat beef and mutton, which leads to increasing demand, is also an important reason for the price increase.
