Hogs, depart Skew
COLLEGE STATION— Swine
producers may bold the anawer
to better prices. The 11R
weight hogs, those weig!
from 200 to 230 pounds, si
the beet chance of topping the
market, said E. M. RagenRrecht,
extension swine husbandman of
Texas A. & M. College, here.
He said that hogs weighing
more than 230 pounds are not in
strong demand because of their
tardiness, and too, after they
pass this weight they become
less efficient utilizers of the feed
they consume.
He recommends watching the
hog gains very closely ana top-
ping out the animals as they
reach the 200 to 230 pound
weight range.
“Texas is still a heavy pork
importing state and Texas pro-
ducers can profitably increase
their output of hogs.
“Hog producers should strive
to improve continually the
quality of the hogs they pro-
duce for market and that good
n
those whofeedhogs for market
should watch closely the re-
search work that is now under-
as Station, on the use of APF
