Chicago radio stations urged farmers to stop sending hogs to market until current hogs in the yards are disposed of. No embargo was issued but late shipments likely could not be sold before week’s end, risking losses from shrinkage and feeding costs as hogs await sale. The Chicago market has seen heavy hog shipments for over two weeks, leaving thousands unsold at closing.
