Decreased Spring Pig Breeding In Iowa in 1938
Iowa reports show 2.4 percent drop in sows bred for spring pigs in 1938 compared with the prior year. Market data indicate more heavy sows sold before breeding, yielding many younger and less mature pigs. Poor spring conditions and late pasture start, despite ample corn, likely reduce pigs saved per litter. Iowa’s hog market impact remains significant nationwide.
