18-May-2023aschinckthe distribution of these market weights and carcass weights are greatly impacted by the accuracy in which the pigs are sorted for marketing . Some models assume the truly heaviest pigs are marketed each marketing time. Real carcass weight data from 4000 head barns indicates that only about 60 % of the truly heaviest pigs at each marketed cut are sorted at each cut.

04-Oct-2021info_283Ollie Leddy: Limiting meat production is a win-win for the enviornment and for our farmers. The world produces too much cheap food of which 30% is wasted and is causing obesity in a large sector of the worlds population. I say we produce less food and make it a little more expensive. This will encourage the small producer back into business and will stop the madness of runaway production. It is time for a re-think on how we produce our meat.
