Subject: Re: Some hog guys are optimistic


Not sure what the market will bring, High inputs don't bother me as long hog prices are high enough to off set the input. But then again Economics 101 tells us the commodities markets are under perfect competition meaning we are always price takers at the mercy of supply and demand by other that can do it for cheaper and there are no barriers to entry or exit .

Like the old saying says: "High feed prices = high hog prices" but that don't mean you will make a profit.

Question is how long do we have to do this to shake off enough competition to result in respective returns.

I honestly don't know what to think. Other then this summer has equal chances of being a profit maker or buster.

At least Jim Longs commentary points to record highs coming.

My 2 cents.
