Melbourne Pig Market Sees Mixed Demand and Price Dip
The Melbourne pig market reports 2450 pigs penned with a mix of store and fatstock purchases. Prices eased slightly across the board, with prime heavy weights selling 37s to 40s and baconers in moderate demand at 41 to 45s, while some lines fetched lower rates and uneven bidding. Supply varied by quality, keeping activity irregular, and lighter lots showed firmer values in spots. Produce prices for flour and feed accompanied the market data.
