Hog market likely stronger by spring says ISU economist
ISU farm economist Francis Ku tish says the hog market won’t improve soon due to a large 19659 fall pig crop. By March or April receipts should fall and prices could rise, depending on farmers’ farrowing plans. USDA Dec 1 reports show about 11 percent fewer pigs to be raised this spring than last year.

Price signals may boost 1960 fall pig breeding profits
