Market Livestock At Lower Weights
In drylot feeding it takes about 1000 pounds of corn to raise a calf from two to 600 pounds while 2150 pounds are needed for 900 to 1100 pounds. A pig rises from 75 to 150 pounds with 365 pounds of feed and 485 pounds for 150 to 200 pounds. As weight rises, feed per pound increases, and lower market tonnage helps curb oversupply when markets are flooded.

Market trends weigh on livestock prices in late 1955
Analyst Zmolek notes heavier cattle weights in December 1955 compared with a year earlier, depressing prices. Hog marketing stayed strong at desirable weights, with barrow and gilt weights about 12 pounds lighter than a year prior. Larger supplies mean continued marketing at optimum weights to avoid price drops across grades.
