Eastern Iowa | When I was a kid one of us would play decoy for the sows while someone else swooped in to process them. Dad would take fat hogs (that's what they really were back then) to the Dubuque Pack and they'd average 220 lbs, and were about as wide as they were long. They could handle the Iowa winters better.
Today's hog is a much more efficient animal. It will put on 50 more pounds in two fewer weeks to market on a bushel less corn per head. But it can't stay outside! | |
