March Farrowed Pigs Marketed in Winter
January, February, and early March farrowed pigs are probably 50 per cent marketed, but due to corn being high in price there are many pigs lacking the finishing touches.
Corn and tankage are rather high prices, but the redeeming feature of the situation is that hogs are also fair priced. If the pigs are thrifty, free from worms, lice, and mange, and are fed a well balanced ration there is no doubt but that they will make a good return on the feed consumed.
