Yea that's the issue, especially for guys like you. You own about 2500 head right? So just the one barn? Marketing has to be tough when it's that seasonal. Most integrators are big enough they are selling some pigs every week, so they catch highs and lows. My integrator has about 30 double wide wean-finishers. They sell 2500 head a week like clock work. 30 weeks start to finish (+/- any changes in growers). They know they will catch the May/June/July market every year. I'm guessing you don't, which probably makes it harder year to year to keep the cash flow consistent.

I don't know how you do it, to be honest. You're a better and probably a tougher man than me.

Edited for the strikethrough.
