The Auction prices were very strong in Quebec as packers tried to maintain slaughter share despite lower numbers of hogs. The decline in numbers in Ontario precluded us from shipping any extra hogs to Quebec. We are pleased to announce that we have signed a Platinum Contract with Quality Meats. The contract is for a 3-year term based on 2,500 hogs per week. We are completed the development of the producer contract.
Space is limited.
If you are interested in signing up, please call our office or the Field Service Staff. This past week was the American Thanksgiving holiday. Last year, the holiday was part of a rapid decline in hog prices because of decreased slaughter capacity. This year, however, U.S. cash prices held steady and the Pool and Pool Plus prices rose as a result of this continued strength. D.W. Ontario market hog sales were 97,169 head last week.
