Subject: RE: Hard to believe $9.00 fat hogs 1998



Greene County, Illinois

I remember it well, because the spring before, fat hogs were $70 and old sows were $60.  I told my wife I'd never seen sows and fats high at the same time, so I sold fats as they got ready and sold out of sows.  I thought when hogs got lower, I would buy gilts, breed and get back in by the next spring.  When fats got down to $8 that fall, I told her that didn't look quite the right time to get back in.  Never had hogs since, and never missed them.
