Abstract
The most profitable marketing weight at which to sell hogs fluctuates widely because of seasonal price changes, shifting patterns of price differentials among weight ranges and changes in the corn-hog ratio. Many producers market at a specific weight - an easier decision than to determine which weight would be the most profitable. This article gives some useful direction for determining the break-even point.
