Cull Boar and sow prices

[Princess Pooper]

Can you not take them to a market?

Some commercial pigs have been making it to Melton Market, but there was comment at the last pig sale that several abattoirs were not killing, so no one will buy them if they can't get them killed! Cull sows making £35 I think, but you'll have deductions from that plus the cost of getting there.

I doubt that they would make £35, or anything like it, if someone was to roll up with a hundred extra sows? Not in Melton or anywhere else for that matter.

Essex?

What's going on in Essex? What have you heard? Our finishers are heading that way at the moment...

I haven't heard anything. Don't panic. I've got some overweights heading that way soon.

The German processors have ground to ahalt and don’t want any.

I don’t think any market would thank me for turning up with a hundred. I’m more likely to end up with a bill rather than a cheque.

we will see what this week brings

I see that Peter doesn't think that it is much better for a while

If you need a dose of optimism, (I certainly do) have a read of this.
By my calculation, $1.20 per pound is £1.90/kg.

Jim long doesn’t know how to do anything apart from convince people the job going to go up so buy some genetics quick

Here's another one for you. Personally, I like a bit of optimism, even if the author has commercial reasons to push that view.

Well, at least take heart that you're much more adept at finishing pigs than we are. [email protected]. Bravo.

We've been averaging high 90s low 100s for months now for the main finishing site. To be fair it's where i've been aiming.

If feed prices were normal and we all had 10% more finishing space we would probably be happy

Wouldn't pay to aim for that on my contract unfortunately.

Nor mine, they get a bit sniffy if they go over 73kg
