Experts predict a spring pig crop increase of only two per cent, however. This is because we aren’t likely to repeat the high 1961 ratio of pigs saved.

Hog prices ranged from $17 to $18 in Virginia auctions last week. Richmond was $17 to $17.50. Southeastern Virginia markets were $16.75 to $17.25; Western markets, $16.50 to $17.25; and Baltimore $17.75. These prices were $1 to $1.50 below the January level.

This same weather caused cuts in consumer buying which may or may not be made up when the weather clears. ! Until more details are known, it’s hard to sum up what the affect on prices will be.
