Farm Hog Slaughter Feasibility and Local Market Notes
Agricultural college specialists say hogs valued at eight and a half cents a pound on the farm can save about 413.82 on pork for a family by slaughtering their own hogs rather than selling to a trader and buying pork. Not all of the 13.32 saved becomes profit due to freight, commissions, yardage, and retailer costs. Also reported are John Campbell securing ownership of the George Cook ranch in Melville country, a showplace on the Sweet Grass Carbon line, and Conner Brothers Dry Creek wheat topping the Minneapolis market at 188 with a premium for high protein.
