HOGS Weighty problem for Manitoba hog marketing
Manitoba swine specialist D S Stevenson says about half of market hogs could reach grade A if shipped at 195 pounds instead of 215 plus. In 1960 only 28.9 percent of 506,295 hogs graded A, grade B hogs 45 percent, grade C ten percent. Earlier marketing could have raised A-grade hogs to 43.8 percent. Producers lost money by selling tradeoffs.

Hog fat vs lean in grade A premiums sparks debate
A specialist argues fat gains on hogs require 24 times the feed of lean gain. Beyond 195 pounds the extra gain is costly fat and producers may lose the three dollar Grade A premium. He notes Prince Edward Island set a 53 percent Grade A record in 1960 and urges Manitoba not to fall behind in quality hog production. Best wishes for the holidays.
