Fattening Hogs Market Weights by Type and Region
The age to fatten hogs varies with market demand and locality. Fat hogs, 200 to 400 pounds, are popular where lard is preferred, while bacon hogs are marketed earlier, best around 90 to 140 pounds, with about one inch of fat, deep and long bodies, and firm quality.
Fattening Hoga for Market According to Iowa College
W. J. Kennedy of Iowa Agricultural College explains profitable hog fattening. Optimal ages to finish range from five to six months for lard hogs and eight to ten months for market hogs, with weights near 40 to 240 pounds. Fall or spring fattening is economical, weather affects feed use, and two litters yearly suggest September October and March April marketing windows.
