The tide is also slowly turning on the slaughter pig market. The remaining overhangs have largely been removed and reports of a small number of live specimens are currently being reported. However, the meat market is still slowing down development. Although the market is picking up slightly for premiums, it is not enough yet. According to market participants, sales of barbecue items in particular, which are otherwise very strong at this time of year, leave a lot to be desired. Buying interest in free lots has increased again regionally. Some slaughterhouses ordered additional animals to better utilize their capacities. No lot was traded at today's Internet pig exchange because the required minimum prices were not reached. At the auction of the Internet pig exchange on Friday, none of the 650 pigs offered were sold in 4 lots.
