Sell to another outfit but its a similar program. But lately has been really hard to get hogs scheduled with them. Kinda concerned about their long term stability. As I'm forced to sell more and more hogs into the commercial market that they had previously committed to buying, its really making me question whether I want to keep going. And I don't think they intended to screw me or anything just a lot of different things happened and all of a sudden I'm the odd man out. Have looked into Niman lately and if they had a closer outlet I might consider them but not crazy bout the long haul and I've heard other talk about premiums disappearing when they start their discounts. If I wanted to sell that commercial price I'd change the way I raise them and maybe at least break even. Instead I'm outside, no antibiotic, Berkshire and still selling at commercial prices.
