Heavier hogs triple, presenting challenge
The dramatic increase in
the proportion of heavier
hogs marketed is a real con
cern to pork packers who
have to process and market
the heavier cuts, according
to H.K. Leckie, general
manager, Meat Packers
Council of Canada.
Speaking at the Offical
Opening of the Ontario Pork
Congress in Stratford, Mr.
Leckie pointed out average
market weights of hogs have
decidedly increased \since
the first of January this year
on account of the new higher
indexes for carcasses
weighing over 180 lbs. In
1976 and 1977 the percentage
of carcasses weighing over
180 lb. ran about 10%.
For the first five months
of 1978 the percentage of
heavies nearly tripled-
running close to 30% in
several provinces and over
in some, e.g. Quebec.
Mr. Leckie went on to say,
“While fortunately a good
many of these carcasses
have been fairly lean in
type, nevertheless quite a
challenge has been
presented to the industry in
merchandizing heavier cuts,
at a time when the general
meat price level is relative
ly high, and consumers are
looking for pork and other
meats in small, more
economical and convenient
packages. Quite often the
total cost of the package is
the deciding factor in what
to buy, and how many major
meat items will go into the
shopping cart.”
Heavier hogs invariably
produce heavier bellies
which slice up into longer,
wider less attractive bacon
even with a lot of extra trim
ming. The sides are too big
for standard bacon presses
and the slices are outsize for
packaging, with fewer slices
per pack. With 30% heavier
hogs, processors get a
significantly lower yield of
top brand bacon. The net
result is a lower economic
return and an adverse effect
on market acceptability of
bacon.
“Heavier hogs produce
other cuts such as hams, pic
nics and loins which weigh
considerably more than the
pork system has traditional
ly been used to. The crucial
factor is unit consumer
package size, and cost. With
today’s higher meat prices,
consumers are getting very
conscious of what a J/2 semi
boneless skinned ham or a
picnic shoulder costs com-

pared to a light turkey or
other substitute. It takes
time to adjust to such
heavier product and develop
ways of presenting it attrac
tively. Meanwhile, we are in
danger of losing the
traditional reputation of
Canadian pork as being
superior to heavier, fatter
U.S. pork,” said Mr. Leckie.
In further comments Mr.
Leckie pointed out there is
mounting concern and some
evidence already, that the
trend to heavier hogs may
result in an increased in
cidence of PSE pork.
Another point of concern is
that heavier hogs are more
subject to stress during
marketing, which may
result in more dead hogs in
trucks and plant holding
pens.
Commenting on the
significance of the Congress,
Mr. Leckie told his
audience, “It is becoming
more and more evident to-
day that the whole pork
system from producer to
consumer must work
together in a co-ordinated
way. While each sector of
the system has particular
goals, interests and view
points, they need not, and
should not, be adversaries.
There can and should be
competition within each sec
tor, as well as businesslike
bargaining and fair trading
between each sector. All of
the producing and
marketing sectors have to
earn, on the average, a fair
net return, over costs, on in
vestment, provided they are
efficient. The consumer goal
is always consistent quality
ata fair price.” .
