redoak - 3/29/2025 07:09 Won't disagree on your math or the hurt. Ontario has high population so I think we balance out on pork trade. We are short a lot of hook space in Ontario , US has hook space and makes money on Ontario (Canadian hogs) + the US needs all the western SEW/weiners As last I seen US can ship live hogs to Canada ,some rules exist (disease wise) but no cdn. hook space and cdn. packers don't pay enough. Trucking from here, 30 miles from Detroit to Coldwater plant is all fees in $2,350 cdn. for 160 hogs..A large produce going to US during the 3 day tariff deal has been billed $55,000 cdn. 1 load of finished cattle was $40k cdn. If tariffs come on the swine will be moved to US as SEW pigs and more producers will exit pork business https://www.producer.com/news/u-s-pork-begs-for-tariff-exemption-fro...
