Hog Barley Ratio Signals Favorable hog trade in Manitoba
Experimental farm notes from Brandon Manitoba explain the hog barley ratio as the value link between bacon hogs and barley feed. It uses no. 1 barley at 90 cents per bushel and grade Bl hogs at 28 dollars per 100 pounds dressed, yielding a live weight equivalent of about 19.50 dollars per 100 pounds and a ratio of 21.7 bushels. The twenty year average is 19.8 bushels, indicating a modest but favorable stance for hog producers.
