Subject: RE: Hog industry the next few years


Ours was in the low 20's ten years ago. Got a big boost growing our own gilts, the quality from the previous source was getting poor, and they got PRRS six months after we quit so dodged a bullet there. Biggest change was updating farrowing barn. Previous was from the seventies, floors were bad crates were small, ventilation was bad. A third of it still bedded on cement in an old shed. But the added barn cost offset a lot of the increase in production, it's still continuing to go up but not as fast as it did for a few years there.
I haven't cash flowed the sows in forever I need to do that.
