MANHATTAN, Kan. - Recent record-high grain prices are reinforcing the need to make livestock operations as efficient as possible. To that end, swine scientists with Kansas State University Research and Extension have developed a spreadsheet that producers can use to determine the optimal sale weight for market pigs.
The spreadsheet, available on the Web: http://www.KSUswine.org (click on the "Marketing Tools" link), can be customized for a producer´s own marketing situation.
