An ag economist says the December Quarterly Hogs and Pigs report delivered both good and bad news for U.S. hog producers.
University of Missouri�s Scott Brown says breeding inventory dropped more than 3% from year-ago levels.� �Oklahoma, down 100,000 head,� he says.� �Iowa down 60,000; Texas down 30,000; Illinois, North Dakota, Colorado, each down 20,000 head in terms of breeding inventory.� Missouri sow numbers were unchanged from year-ago levels.
But, he tells Brownfield pigs per litter rose nearly 4% year-over-year.�
