<< I don't know if I posted to this thread the extent to which hog prices fell - 7 to 8 bucks per live Cweight, so assuming 60% turned into grocery meat = 13 cents a blended cut pound. I never saw my pork chops drop too much at the grocery store. >> IN commodities market, they always look at the future crop yields in determining spot prices, don't they? They must be looking at the pigs in the stock market and hence the drop in hog prices. -g-

I never saw my pork chops drop too much at the grocery store.> I bought the dip. Living out in God's country has its advantages. Bought a whole pig from my Uncle for $40. The processing cost more than the meat, but it came out to about 50c/lb. Made some good ham sandwiches for my super bowl party. Still have lots left in the freezer. -gg- Don't worry about my Uncle- He's still got his GE stock....err, well maybe I spoke too soon.
