Hog producers see ongoing negative returns in May outlook
Economic analysis shows hog operations facing negative returns across farrowing to finish, farrow to feeder pig, and feeder pig to market through May. With December futures, hogs marketed in December would miss by about $1.78 per hundred, as costs rise to $51.45 while expected price is $49.67. feeder pig and market segments also show losses, though quarter two and three price forecasts offer slim profit potential if forecasts hold.

Embryo Transplant Lambs Born in Michigan Research Center
Six purebred Suffolk lambs born at Michigan State University's Sheep Research Center mark the first embryo transplant results in the United States. Four recipient ewes carried eight transferred embryos from two donor ewes, all sired by Quasar owned by Al Culham and Gene Graham. Veterinarian Darold McCalla notes higher costs, surgical removal, lack of frozen ram semen, and seasonal breeding as current limits, but believes embryo transfer offers faster propagation of superior stock and plans further work this fall.
