How much can a farmer afforG
to pay for feeder pigs?
Role M. Godsey. swine special
lst at VPI. says this depends or
the value Of the finished hogs, cost
OF raising them. and death loss
Here IS a hypothetical case which
farmers can use in figuring out
how much they can profitably pay
for feeder pigs.
To determine the finished value.
Jones first estimates the price at
the time he will sell the hogs. and
their probably weight. If he wants
TO buy 35-pound feeder pigs In late
May to sell in October. he may
estimate the October weight at 225
pounds. the price at SIG per cwt.
The weight is based on experience
IN the rate OF gain. the price is
forecast. His expected income or
net value at the farm is Dds pounds
times SIC cWt. or $50.
He then should estimate probable
costs. Figures vary from year to
year and from farm to farm. But
experimental results show the ave
rage farmer uses $50 pounds Of
corn and so pounds Of protein sup
plement to add 100 pounds weight.
This would be total of 665 pounds
tabout II bushels of corn. and 100
pounds of supplement to increase
the weight of the pigs from IS to
225 pounds.
With corn at sll4. the cost for
II bushels would be 1880 with
supplement at S. a cwt.. total cost
would be $3.50. Feed Is the largest

Systematic Crossbreeding Program
Holds Promise For The Hog Producer

1 A systematic crossbreeding pro
gram holds great promise for the
hog producer.
\ Role M Godsey swine specialist
\ Az VPI says this has been brought
out by extensive research both at
4 the TideWater Research Station at
Holland, and at experiment stations
in other states.
4 Godsey says there seems to be
increased interest in crossbreeding
in recent months, and rightly 50. VI
He points to an increase in the
number Of pigs farrowed and wean-
ed, increased growth rate, and
vigor. as results that can be ex-
pected in crossbreeding pro-
gram.
In general, he says, it has been
found that the less related the
breeds or strains. the better the
performance Of the crossbreds. 1t
also has been found that the top
performing lines of hogs produce
the best crossbreds. Therefore. at
tentlon to the selection Of breed
ing animals is extremely important
in crossbreeding program.
II a recent test at the Tennessee
Experiment Station. scientists found
that crossbred sows raised more
pigs per litter--l5 per cent more
at both weaving and market. Cross
bred pigs gained faster from birth
to market and we're about eight to
ten per cent heavier than the
straightbred pigs at weaving time
