weekly hog market facts

You need to ask local butchers and feed stores for the going price in your area.  The condition of the hog is a big factor to some people and it changes by locality.  Check out the sites given for hog markets in general and see if this helps you.

Feeder pig finishing

Finished hogs, weighing 270 pounds, are sold for the average weekly price paid in Iowa-So. Minnesota as determined by Livestock Market Information Service based on USDA report LM_HG 204.  The average market hog price is multiplied by 74 percent to make the conversion to live hog price.  Cull hogs are assumed to make up 3 percent of the market hog volume and are discounted 45 percent on a per head basis.  Final sale values are adjusted by 98.4 percent in order to account for light weight cull hogs.
