Moore
Moore did find it encouraging
that the swine market did not go
lower than it did m the face of
the lecent ovei supply “If we
had had a 20 per cent inciease
in production 10 yeais ago we’d
have 11 -cent instead of 19 cent
hogs,” he said
Some Trends
With continued inci eases in
pork quality, Mooie piojecled
that pork consumption in the
U S could go from the piesent
65 to about 90 pounds per per
son by 1980 Meanwhile, beef
consumption could go fiom the
piesent 114 pounds to 150
pounds by 1980
This reflects a major tiend of
-\mencans toward much gieatei
consumption of protein foods
and less starchy foods
Partially offsetting the trends
fnvaid gi eater poik and beef
consumption will be continued
declines in veal and mutton con
sumption Dauy cattle also ac
count for a continually smaller
share of the maiket In 1945
c'djiy animals made up 45 per
cent and beef 55 per cent of
cattle while in 1970 dauy had
jiopped to 19 and beef had nsen
to 81 per cent
At the same time theie has
been a maioi trend toward feed

ant of all beef cattle now axe
coming fiom feed lots, compared
to only 33 pei cent in 1947 The

programmed
Red Rose developed this program of feeding
that will deliver hogs to market in 150 days! It took
lescarch, more reseaich, and still more research
until the most effective combination'of feeds and
feeding programs was possible.
The Programmed Hog is vour way of raising
healthy, meaty hogs going to market in less time.
It’s a complete nutrition and management story,
reducing the cost of pork by converting more feed
to meat, while maintaining growth and promoting
healthier litters.
You owe it to yourself to try the Programmed
Hog system and the Red Rose swine feeds that
make up the program. Don’t wait another day.
