[QUOTE="Tommy, post: 7851482, member: 998"] Correct me if I’m wrong and I’m sure you lot will, bearing in mind I don’t keep big numbers of pigs or have been about long enough to know the bigger picture in the pig world. But, these farms who have a contract with the processors who were many years ago probably happy to sign up to for various reasons have now been told it’s not worth the paper it’s written on. They have probably done everything possible to keep their end of the bargain, including spending lots of money and hours of work to jump through the hoops needed only to be told “thanks but no thanks, we don’t want your pigs this week”. Now, in desperation they are dumping pigs in the market. The same markets they abandoned to sell direct and hoping they can bail them out of the muck. Will these farms who have been selling on contract be so keen to sign up again once thing come back to normal? [/QUOTE]
