When is a good time to sell a piggery? Right about now really.
With reportedly over 40% of the sows in China gone with African swine fever, the pig market is on the rise. I hear Lismore-based consultant Tom Butler is charged with selling the Centenary Thurles piggery that operates near Burncourt in south Tipperary.
The integrated unit was finishing about 10,000 pigs per year.

The Thurles lads obviously see the piggery as non-core to the small north Tipp-based milk trader and want to move it on.
Most of the Thurles milk goes to Glanbia with a splash to Tipperary Co-op. The question is which of the pig empires south of Cahir will snap up the piggery?
