Hog Prices Hold Up Amid Slaughter Rise and Lower Feed Costs
The Los Angeles market during Christmas week saw hog prices retreat to four year lows yet remain supported by lower feed costs. With barley down about 50 cents, production costs drop about 26 cents per pound, boosting margins despite softer selling prices. Government data show 1935 pig farrowings up 15 percent from 1937, and 1938 fall crops larger than estimated, while overall 1938 production runs about 12 percent below 1929–33 average. Analysts foresee continued gains into 1939, aided by export demand and reduced beef supply, though western pork output stays well below twenties averages and California produces only about 4 percent of national pork consumption.
