. . . and the reason they're cheaper at a supermarket is?

If you were a supplier of meat products (farmer) and could get £30 for a pig at a supermarket (£1 profit), or £35 for the same pig to a local butcher (£6 profit), who would you sell to?

But the local only wants 10 pigs, so the other 1000 go to the supermarkets at the cheaper price . . . or get culled if the supermarket price drops to £28 per pig (£1 loss)
