Hog shipment sells in market at Salt Lake City
E D Smith returned from Salt Lake City with 320 hogs from Ashley valley. The herd was driven to Watson and loaded onto the Union Pacific railway bound for Mack where Archie McFarland and Sons bought them for 5.75 dollars per hundredweight. County Agent E Peterson notes the market price was not ideal but moving the hogs now avoids feeding burdens and urges farmers to raise home hogs and consider purebred stock for profitability. He warns against costly transport making market-raised hogs unprofitable and suggests focusing on other farm production if prices stay weak.
