Don't know Hasbeen, they may have just put it on the spot market and
and gave a good delivery date.
Never the less there is a market there.

New outdoor pig rules as of sept 2018
Who would ever figure that a pig of 26 weeks of age, a grown pig ready for breeding is not one pig its value is worth 1.8 pigs and when the pig is gestating is value is 1.6 pigs. That same pig is now lactating it’s worth 2.5 pigs its progeny are worth .1 of a pig until 4 weeks of age and weaned then the Sow Being a dry sow is valued at 1.6 pigs. The weaned progeny progress from .1 of a pig at 4 weeks of age to 26 weeks of age where the value is 1.6 pigs. Presuming 5 of the grown pigs are sold at 26 weeks of age and 5 are kept as future breeders and valued at 1.8 pigs.
10 progeny can be 5 ladies and 5 gentlemen.
Whatever happened to a pig just being a pig.
Breeding sows only on farm as artificial insemination is used.
A pig can breed 2 times / year x 20 progeny / year.
Foxy you are good at equations just like a farmer.
You are allowed a factor of 12 Spu / hectare. [ That means pig values]
The accepted birth rate of a sow is 10 progeny
How many pigs in number does that equate to on a 60 hectare farm lot.
