Hog Auction
NEW HOLLAND, PA
October 21,2002
Report Supplied By Auction
HOG RECEIPTS: 692 head, last Mon
day 696; last year 1115.
Receipts: 692. Compared to last
Monday, barrows and gilts sold fully
1.00- lower. Many hog buyers felt that
it was time to realign somewhat with the
Western terminal markets; which are
moving hogs weaker from around 28.00.
Lean hog futures also took a hit at Mon
days 1 close, closing down 10-97 cents. The
general packer attitude at Mondays 1 auc
tion was we need them, but we don't need
them bad enough to keep paying
38.00- for the fancy ones. However,
feeders need to remember that even with
the bulk of the hogs bringing from
31.00- that it is still a 3.00-7.00 pre
mium when compared to the Western
market.

Feeder Pig Auction
NEW HOLLAND, PA
October 23,2002
Report Supplied By USDA
Receipts: 471 Last Week: 246 Year
Ago: 448.
This weeks 1 feeder pig run was not
tested, due to last weeks 1 very light show
ing. Although, this week over 35 percent
of the supply went back on feed, as feed
ers begin to show some interest after sev
eral weeks of very light participation. On
the weights that were comparable, slaugh
ter pigs sold with a higher undertone; ex
cept for the 30-35 pounders, which sold
noticeably lower. The crowd at Wednes
days 1 auction was very light, and prices
held up very well considering the light
buyer attendance; and the fact that re
ceipts were 200 head stronger when com
pared to last weeks 1 . The Western termi
nal hog markets continue to trend lower
the first half of the week; with prices
ranging from 26.00-28.00 at Wednesdays 1
close. Locally, hog prices are ranging
from 31.00-35.50, although many produc
ers are preparing for the next cycle of
lower prices.
All pigs were weighed and graded on
arrival and sold by the hundred weights.
