Hog pricing hint from MU extension notes in 1972
The Missouri extension summary states the old rule of paying 1.5 to 1.8 times the 60 pound hog price is not always reliable. With finished hogs at 18 cents per pound the feeder may break even at 1.2 times the price, while at 24 cents per pound a feeder could reach about 2.0 times market price and still profit.
