As mentioned earlier, the price of 8 yuan a catty is obviously not in line with the price of pig's trotters in today's situation, so it is hard not to give some consideration to the source of these pork. These trotters are probably from some dead pigs, sick pigs or old pigs. As the year is approaching, the price of pork has risen to 30 to 40 yuan a catty, and here it is less than 10 yuan a catty, which is really too cheap, so it must be cheap to be cheap. This batch of trotters will definitely not come from pigs that have just been slaughtered. So it is quite possible to speculate that it comes from those three kinds of pigs.
Pigs are sick and it costs a lot of money to treat them, so many pig farmers will think it is better to sell them directly. Many sows are unable to bear children when they are old, and they will face the risk of being sold cheaply. Moreover, it is normal for sows to die while giving birth to piglets, which will also be sold by friends. Because the meat and trotters taken from these pigs are not so fresh and taste worse, they will be sold cheaper.
What's more, these trotters are frozen, and there will be a lot of ice and water left on them. When farmers buy them and thaw them, they will find that their weight is much lighter. In this regard, it is not unreasonable for farmers to spit out cheap goods.
