LANCASTER Will Lancaster
hog prices break the magic $70.00
barrier this week?
Well, there's speculation that
they may just do that for the first
time this week after nudging the
70.00 mark and setting a new price
record last Saturday.
A few U.S. #Ts sold for $68.00-
$69.00 a hundredweight on
Saturday, topping the old high of
68.00 at the Stockyards.
Although prices didn’t reach that
level during the week at the
various Lancaster County auc
tions, they held firm in the mid
60’s. This firmness gave rise to
speculation that the $70.00 barrier
may finally be broken.
In all, 1070 head were sold last
Saturday, Aug. 7, at the
Stockyards.
The report as listed by the
auction includes:
U.S. #l, 210-235 lbs. 65.00-67.50;
some from 68.00-69.00.
U.S. 1 & 2,210-245 lbs. 64.00-64.85.
U.S. 2 & 3,210-255 lbs. 63.50-64.50.
Lightweights 195-210 lbs. 60.00-
63.50.
Sows, 350 lbs. and up 52.00-55.75.
Boars, 200300 lbs. 55.50-57.75;
