Hog price outlook favors another hog expansion cycle
Hog price and profit conditions suggest a cyclical upswing in hog production next year, with expansion limited to about five percent to keep prices profitable. Through summer 1973 prices remained strong, aided by tight supplies and narrow packer margins. Interior Iowa Minnesota 200–220 lb butcher prices hovered around 28.75 to 29.75 per cwt, while federally inspected slaughter in July to Aug was 10 percent below last year.
