Title: Re: the buying stations Post by: CrossE on December 30, 2012, 08:52:23 pm I have a buying station here in Oklahoma for one of the slaughter houses and have been shutdown for 30 days now. One of the 3 plants are closing their doors for good, and the other 2 have an abundance of hogs, and shipping is at a hault as already said. The market is not looking good for the future. They are telling me the prices are going to be cut drastically when they re-open. Whenever that may be> :-\

Title: Re: the buying stations Post by: Acwells0808 on December 31, 2012, 12:35:44 pm Around here it's closed till jan 1 for counting and paper work but nothing about price dropping or to many pigs ????? Not real sure about that our buyer says same price just has to do a yearly headcount
Title: Re: the buying stations Post by: CrossE on January 01, 2013, 10:40:15 am I dont know who you sell to, but I talk to the guys at the plants on weekly basis and they are stacked with hogs!! That is the reason SWG stations have also been shutdown for over 2 weeks now.
Yes every year they do shut down for a few days to get head count, but this is more than that. |
