western iowa,by Denison | I think one of the declines was pseudorabis-a law came into effect and it made it hard to sell feeder pigs,watched my local sale barn in Carroll Iowa go from weekly 2-3000 feeder pig sales to 100 head sales,we had more independent feeder pig-sow guys in Carroll county Iowa then anywhere in the world-Halbur ,Iowa had the cream of the crop-200-700 sow guys,small 160 acre farms and making money,on a normal Monday the 100 person town was a busy place-standing line at the black-smith shop for parts-now its kinda quiet?(Could this happen to our corn market-spike up and then back down)the $3hogs was the worst-you were ahead if your hogs just died-I delivered 1 load at my local buyer-$3.60-told him to keep the money-bought feederpigs weighing65# next day for$1-neighbor slaughtered his pigs for the loin and threw the rest away-it was the case of more is more until more is to much? | |

Better Question... Why did everyone get out of hogs?
