Price Outlook for Hogs Dim for Next Year
Columbia Missouri reports extension livestock marketing specialist J W Reynolds predicts lower late summer and winter hog prices in 1958 compared with 1957. The U S Department of Agriculture survey indicates more farrowings in late 1957 and early 1958, suggesting higher production and potentially tighter margins for average hog producers. Reynolds cautions producers to analyze their own operations as corn prices around 1.10 per bushel imply late 1958 butcher hogs near 12 50 to 13 per hundredweight.
