Why do prices keep rising every year in France?
Several factors explain the continued rise in sheep prices in France: general inflation, the shrinking number of sheep farms, increasingly strict health regulations, and the strong demand concentrated on just a few days around Wednesday 27 May 2026, the day of Eid al-Adha.
By delegating in countries where sheep farming is more developed and less expensive, you get a fair price while having a significant social impact.
