Wisconsin Hog Producers Urged to Improve Genetics Now
UW Extension Swine Specialist Dr. Carl Hirschinger urges hog producers to buy high quality boars to lift performance. Look for offspring reaching 230 pounds in 150 days with low backfat, feed conversion under 2.75, and strong muscling. An $800 boar can cost about $4 per litter but deliver hefty returns. Slaughter remains light as season typically rises after July 4, with USDA data suggesting further sow shortages into 1983. Corn at $2.15 a bushel supports pork profits. break-even costs are estimated for various production stages this month.
