Most lots of 40-60 weight pigs have a sliding value from the negotiated
weight basis which is calculated on the actual average weight of the load
plus or minus 30-.40 per pound Some early weaned lots have a slide of .50-
100 per pound. Early weaned pigs are under 19 days old Estimated lean
value is projected to use slaughter weights with normal confinement feeding
conditions. Vaccination and health program values are not included but
