Hog Industry Prospects From Western Hog Totals
A historic overview notes 6 949 000 hogs moved west last year with Chicago accounting for 2 283 000 and an average 260 pounds live weight there. Price per hundred pounds averaged 3 50, the lowest in seventeen years. Comparison with cattle shows swine offer steadier price ranges and greater safety, arguing for long term investment. The Stuck Growers convention is set for Moline City, Moot, April 20 with a 3 40 round trip rail rate from the YP Ry tickets on sale April 19 and 20, returning by April 26.
