Meat and Livestock Prices Up in 1958--Pork, Hogs To Decline



Prices of meat and meat animals advanced in 1958 as
Mvestock slaughter and meat output fell from previous highs,



Meat prices have climbed back to their 1947-49 relation- $ PER BU- $ PER 100 L&
ships with all retail prices, :
Hog prices not only increased in 1958, but were much



above prices of corn. (The chart compares the two accord- 26
ing to a normal hog-corn ratio.)

All cattle prices have risen, and those of feeder stock
have gone up most, In late summer Good feeder steers at
Kansas City sold for more than Choice. fed steers at
Chicago -- a very unusual situation,

In 1959, prices of pork and of hogs will decline substan-
fially, If the 1959 spring pig crop should over-expand, the
price drop next fall could be severe. Cattle and lamb prices, 0 atatulatabitulitautn notiitumtumlatutuls uiubsuladatutul 0
on the other hand, stand a good chance of averaging about 1952 1955 1958
as high in 1959 as in 1958. AVERAGE PRICES RECHIVED BY FARMERS

(Reprinted from National Hog Farmer)

The housewife will buy 7 per cent
more of the lean kind of pork from meat-

_ type hogs and she is willing to pay more

x
Sane

for it, according to the results of an In-
diana research project.
Purdue University marketing specia-
lists, in reporting on their extensive Tend-
R-Leen study, said it showed that con-
sumers would buy about 7 per cent more
pork at the same price if it was of the
meat-type variety. There was greater pre-

ference for meat-type hams and bacon ~

than there was for meat-type pork chops.

_ This may be explained in that pork chops
can be trimmed, while hams and bacon
can not.

When meat-type pork was sold at a
higher price alongside regular pork, it
was found that 40 cents of each pork dol-
lar was spent on Tend-R-Leen pork, while
60 cents was spent on regular pork.

Throughout. the study, sales of Tend-
R-Leen pork were compared with the
average pork on the meat counter and
not with any specially sorted fat pork.

Jim Stevenson, extension economist
in marketing, reported on the retailing
phase, which he directed,

Norton Smith, also an extension econ-
omist in marketing at Purdue, supervised

. finding the meat-type hogs and the car-
casses.

He reported that his

part of the study
- Indicated: :

1, Accuracy of live grading increased

from about 65 per cent at the beginning
of the project to 85 per cent at the end.

2. Meat-type hogs yielded approxi-
mately the same percentage of carcass as

. did the average run of hogs at the packing
plant = ;

3. Hogs graded meat-type alive but re-
jected in the carcass because they were
too fat averaged 29 pounds more alive than
those that yielded meat-type carcasses,
emphasizing the factor of marketing hogs

at proper weights to secure meat-type
pork,

10-Week Test

The Tend-R-Leen study was a cooper-
ative venture of Purdue and the Produc-
ers Marketing Association and was joint-
ly financed by the two. It was conducted
last fall and winter.

Cooperating also were the Emge
Packing Co. at Anderson, Ind., which
Slaughtered the hogs and the Marsh
Foodliner Co., Yorktown, Ind., which sold
the Tend-R-Leen pork in its stores in Mun-
cie, Ind., and made its records on meat
Sales available.

The actual test involved sale of Tend-
R-Leen pork in the Muncie stores for 10
weeks,

The hogs were sorted by the Produ-
cers association and by Emge and slaugh-
tered separately. The carcasses were
graded and the cuts were checked. The
five primal cuts were kept separate. The
meat-type pork, under the Tend-R-Leen
label, was the only pork available in the
test stores during the 10-week period.

Sales of the Tend-R-Leen during that
10-week period in relation to pork sales

wives \



week period were th 0
the change in pork sales during the same
periods in other Marsh stores which were
used as control stores. ee
Those figures show that while total
meat sales in pounds increased in both the

test and control stores during the study

they increased more in the test stores, 8.8
per cent to 4.7 per cent.

Beef and veal sales were down in both
groups but less in the test stores.

Poultry sales, as the result of an ex-
tensive sale on chicken, were greatly in-
creased in both groups, but the increase
during the second 10-week period was
not as great in the test stores as in the
control stores. i

Pork shoulder sales were off in both
groups but only slightly in the test stores
and 5.8 per cent in the control group.

Pork loin sales were down in both
groups, slightly more in the test stores
than in the control stores.

Ham sales increased 17.1 percent in
the Tend-R-Leen stores compared to an in-
crease of 1.8 percent in the control stores.
__ Bacon sales were 1.3 per cent less for
the Tend-R-Leen but were off 11.2. per
cent in the other stores.

On total pounds of pork sold, the Tend-

R-Leen stores showed an increase of 4.7
per cent compared to a decrease of 2.6
per cent for the control stores, or a dif-
ference of 7.3 per cent.

A comparison of sales of Tend-R-Leen
bacon during the last 5 weeks of the study
with the first 5 weeks showed that
sales of the meaty product increased 18.8

per cent during the last half of the study | -

which would be an indication of repeat
business, The same comparison of other
brands of bacon showed a drop of 10.7
per cent during the last 5 weeks.

The study of whether consumers would

-pay more for Tend-R-Leen pork ran for 4

weeks in the five Muncie stores. The
Tend-R-Leen was sold along side regular
pork products, after the 10-week study.

It was priced at a difference ranging
up to 20 cents a pound for hams. However,
Tend-R-Leen hams were semi-boneless
while regular hams had the bones in.
