On the slaughter pig market, trade in free lots is reported to be problem-free. The declining livestock ensure that the supply of live animals only increases slowly and thus relieves the market. There are hardly any overhangs at the moment. However, the meat market is and remains problematic. Even though the public holidays and the summer weather have recently led to slightly higher sales, the slaughterhouses complain that surcharges cannot be enforced. Accordingly, higher pig prices currently seem difficult. In addition, with the regional holiday this week, there is also a slaughter day missing. At the auction of the Internet pig exchange on Friday, 330 pigs in 3 lots out of 490 offered pigs were sold in 2 lots at an average price of 1.88 Euro/kg SG. A batch was not sold because the required minimum price was not reached.
