The small living supply determines the market. Although the higher listing triggers criticism on the red side, overall demand is still unchanged. The animals ready for slaughter can be marketed without any problems. This was also shown by the course of the auction at today's ISN internet pig exchange. However, the meat market is forcing slaughter companies to act with increasing caution. Sales here have picked up with the end of the summer holidays, but are obviously falling short of dealers' expectations. At the auction of the internet pig exchange this Friday, 750 pigs were sold in 5 lots out of 750 offered pigs in 5 lots. The average price was 2.19 euros/kg SG. That's 3 cents more than at the last auction. The trading range was between EUR 2.16 and EUR 2.20.
