Producer Council’s
president Abe Fisher,

making any money yet, but
we’re not losing as much as
we were before.”
Fisher attributes the

under the 350,000 per day
level.
“On Thursday, the kill was
down to 341,000,” he said
“The supply of hogs has
seemed to drop off.”
This improvement,
however, may be short lived
Fisher attributed the
lower supply being the result
of the recent good weather
“When the days are cool and
the hogs are growing well,
the market is kept cleared
out.
“But if we get two weeks of
real hot weather, and the
hogs don’t gam fast enough,
we’ll see a lot more hogs
coming on to the market at
the same time.”
Henry Gruber, chief of
livestock procurement for A
& B Packing, Allentown,
echoed Fisher’s theory. He
also noted there just
the number of hogs
through the sale bams.
“When the supply of hogs
drops, and these packers are
sr-t up for the big kill, the
buyers fight for the hogs
available—that means
higher prices.”
Despite the fact that there
is an almost sure drop m hog
prices lurking on the
horizon, Fisher said the
better prices this week are
“tremendous”.
“We hog producers are
smiling from ear to ear,” he
concluded
