Excerpt from The Hog Situation, Vol. 9: July 20, 1937 Although many producers marketed fall pigs early, a considerable number of such pigs apparently have been put on pasture and will be finished on the new crop of small grains this summer and on the new crop of corn this fall. As a result of this shift in the time of marketing, hog slaughter in May was sharply reduced and continued small during June. For the 2 months, May and June, inspected hog slaughter, except for 1935, was the smallest in more than 40 years. From October through June, inspected slaughter totaled head, an increase of 22 percent over that of the corresponding 9 months a year earlier.
