Farmers nationwide including Nebraska have found hog farming profitable and long established. The article notes changing buyer demands from strong feet and long drives to market, to fat and lard, influencing hog types and sizes over decades, with early hogs called cob rollers for dragging corn cobs.
Postwar breeders chased tall narrow hogs with arched backs due to export demand for large bacon sides. Today markets favor long bodies, strong loins, full hams and high quality cuts. Nebraska ranked seventh nationwide in hogs on hand and production and sixth in gross income as of January 1, 1950.
