Hog and Cattle Prices at Chicago Market Outlook
County Agent Carl Smith says hog prices have fallen for three years while hog production drops in 1940. He forecasts higher hog prices in 1941 due to smaller marketings and stronger demand. Cattle prices for medium and common slaughter cattle remain high versus better grades as farmers hold back cows. Cow and heifer marketing may rise as herds rebuild, altering price relations between lower and better grades.
