As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, the market price for hogs per hundredweight can vary widely based on factors such as location, quality, and market conditions. Typically, prices range from $60 to $100 per hundredweight, but they can fluctuate due to changes in supply and demand, feed costs, and other economic factors. For the most accurate and current pricing, it's best to check live market reports or agricultural commodity exchanges.
As of my last update, the highest price paid for a market hog was reported to be around $1,500, achieved during a special livestock auction. Prices can fluctuate significantly based on market conditions, demand, and the quality of the hogs being sold. For the most current records, it’s advisable to check recent livestock auction reports or industry news sources.
The value of a market hog at slaughter is primarily determined by its weight, quality grade, and market demand. Heavier hogs typically yield more meat, which can increase their value, while quality grading assesses factors such as marbling and fat composition that affect meat quality. Additionally, fluctuations in market demand due to consumer preferences and supply chain conditions also play a significant role in determining a hog's value.
You will have to be much more specific as to when in 1933 and where the HOGS & Corn were to be delivered. Commodities pricing is always a "Where & When" pricing. As I recall there were prices posted at least weekly & it may have been a daily trade by then. you will need to pick a day & Date or a month closing to find out what the cash price was, There are tables for that information, but I'm not sure if there is a website to look it up. I did a quick Google Search & found several reference article's, I'm sure you will be able to find something close to what you are looking for.
because farmers raised hogs and dairy cows
Before currency, there was only a barter economy in which one person trades one good for another. This relies on the assumption that there is a double coincidence of wants, e.g. one person who grows corn who wanted to trade for hogs must find someone who raises hogs that wanted corn. Currency eliminated this because it is a medium of exchange, thus facilitating trade.
The CME Group specifications for their Lean Hogs futures specifies hog carcasses. At auction, hogs are sold by live weight - and because it's well known the average percentage of a live hog that becomes the various parts of a carcass, they can set the price at auction with reasonable certainty they'll get their money back.
Market hogs typically have an average daily weight gain of 1.5 to 2.5 pounds per day. This rate can vary depending on factors such as genetics, feed quality, and management practices. It is important to monitor their weight gain to ensure they are growing properly for market.
