Postwar Hog Will Not Be Too Lard
Postwar hogs will favor a meatier 225 pound live weight with 10 to 12 inch side length and 14 to 15 inch back depth. Dr Lush of the regional swine breeding lab at Iowa State College and W A Craft of the U S Department of Agriculture coordinate breeding work across the Corn Belt. With lard demand waning, a taller, longer legged hog is preferred. hogs under 40 inches long may fatten excessively at 220 to 210 pounds, while 225 pound hogs with slightly shorter legs are desirable for carcass yield and producer acceptance.
