That's what got me. If you say "are" it implies that 'of all the pigs for sale, 50 of them are overpriced', as opposed to 'I can afford fewer'.

Should the English translation of this be "Fifty pigs is too expensive."?
It seems like, given the phrasing, that the "fifty" part is what is too expensive. As in, ten pigs might be a reasonable amount to buy.

I think it has to be 'is'. 'are' only makes sense if we are describing the fifty pigs: "The farmer is selling 200 pigs, but the biggest 50 are too expensive."
