Texas Swine Expert Sees Price Gap and Hogs For Home Supply
Extension swine specialist M Regenbrecht notes Texas farmers mostly raise few hogs for home meat with a 25 to 75 cent price gap versus corn belt hogs. He cites inferior Texas hogs and soft pork, forecasts market correction as grain fed hogs enter the state. He cites 3,000,000 hogs produced yearly and 25 percent shipped out of state, mainly to California. In 1940, 5,727 4-H club youths in 187 counties completed swine demonstrations covering 12,753 animals, up 3 percent from 1939, and urges demonstrations as a growth spur for hog farming.
