The kill: Temperatures are now falling and it seems that the long hot summer has finally come to an end and we have to prepare ourselves for autumn. Despite the holiday on Tuesday the daily slaughter numbers in most of the large abattoirs are certainly picking up now. So it seems that we can now start to expect the seasonal increase in the slaughter for the next eight to ten weeks. There is still no significant reflection on hide weights, but it should be just a matter of time until this can be seen as well.
