[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1788934, member: 14585"] 50 years ago in the mid 1970s market hog weights averaged 235 lbs and 72% hanging 169 lb carcasses In 2018 market hogs averaged 284.6 lbs and 73.6% with 209 lb carcasses per National Hog and Pork summary reports Over the last few decades, pigs per litter, lean growth, feed efficiency and market weights all increased. American hog producers have done an outstanding job in producing leaner meatier hogs and the proof is being able to maintain profitability at higher market weights. Tip of my hat to American hog farmers [/QUOTE]
