FEEDER HOG PROFITS
REQUIRE - CUTTING COSTS
Raising a feeder hog costa
about $17 to $21 in feed, acord-
ing to a recent study of forty•six
,Ontario feeder hog operations.
Mr. John R. Stephens; an
economist with the Ontario
Department of Agriculture in
'Guelph, relates that the use of
homegrown grain or the purchase
of grain grown locally were found
to be effective ways of reducing
feed costs. Where three-quarters,
of the feed was homegrown, feed
costs were less than $54 per
ton compared with $73 per ton
where almost all the feed was
,purchased,
"In this study," Mr. Stephens
states: "feed costs averaged $20
per hog Tor the the 46 producers.
As the average cost of feed de-
creased from $73 to $48 per ton.
however, more of the cheaper
feed was required to produce al
fedder hog, an average of 716
pounds compared with G24 pOunds
of purchased feed.
"On the whole, returns to risk
and management increased from.
$2.77 to $5.55 per feeder hog as
the price:, of teed decreased from.
$73 to $48 per ton. This profit
Widened, not only by feeding
homegrown grain or by purchas-
ing locally grown feed, but by
volume buying. Direct purchase
from the elevator, with the co-
operation of a miller to handle
bookee,ping' was also a financial
asset."
Mr. Stephens concluded that
fall-I-niers who constlantly search
for ways and means to redate
their feed costs will be well re-
warded for their efforts, espec-
ially when feed costs are 80%
of production expenses.
r,'s had enough to be a quitter.
But it's worse to finish something
you never should have started in,
the first place.
