Hog price outlook warns farmers to curb rapid herd growth
University of Tennessee extension economist Gambill cautions hog producers to avoid fast increases in hog numbers to prevent price declines. He notes Jan 1 hogs up 8 percent from last year, Tennessee up 20 percent, with May to July futures offering potential but prices likely rally only slowly. Other factors include beef and poultry trends, and emphasis on high quality herd sires and long term profitability.
