RE HOG MARKETING
Dear Sir:
Hog marketing for the last
week of 1925 has been .very light.
We are, however enclosing a sum-
mary of the ,hog industry a Huron
,County for the year 1925. The fol-
lowing gives the number of hogs
shipped and the grading of the hogs
concerned: Total hogs, 77994; Select
Bacon, 23463, 30.08%; Thick Smooth
45141, 58.56%; Heavies, 3244, 4.-
19a ; Extra Heavies, 235, .307%;
Shop Hogs, 2107, 4.01%; Light
Feeders, 1089, 1.39%; Ronghs, 63,
.079%; Sows ,No. 1, 178, .23%; So
No. 2, 1318, 1.69%; Stags, 156,
'19%.
With reference to hogs it will be .
noted that peactically 78,000 hogs
wore merketed from the county in
the past year. At an average market
value of twenty-two dollars this gives
a valu'ation of 71,716,000.00. The
percentage of selects ittight Also be
noted. The premium being paid for .
Selects at possibly an average some-
thing better than two• dollars per
head. It would mean that aPProxi-
mately 450,000 extra was distributed
amongst the farmers of Huron Coun-
ty for hogs coining in this grade.
While this grade is quite high it can
easily be improved end we hope to
see still further progress made along
,line in 1926.
