The U S Department of Agriculture reports a seven generation hog breeding test at Beltsville Maryland proving leaner pork can be produced with less feed and lower costs. Lean fatback hogs averaged 1.5 inches fatback at start, required 307 pounds feed per 100 pounds gain, and yielded over 4 percent more lean meat. Premium prices reward lean carcasses while beef cattle prices shift milk and cream markets.
