Hog price outlook and drying dairy guidance for farm markets
The article projects price trends for hogs through the year with unlikely drastic declines in late summer and expects higher slaughter weights by early September as feeding efficiency improves. It advises tightly managing hogs over two hundred pounds to top out gradually. It also advises six to eight weeks of dry rest for cows to boost next lactation and outlines feeding practices to induce drying. It finishes with brief local social notes including visits of Mr. and Mrs. Benny Lervold and others from Fort Dodge, Iowa.
