Farmers who can use improved pasture find purebred meat-type bonrs along with good management nrc finding that buyers will pay them five to $15 per hundred more than the going top for fat marketable hogs. At the recent West Plains sale in Howell County, 649 feeder pigs sold lo commercial buyers for an nvernge of $31, per hundred nine dollars more than the top for finished hogs thnt day, But tlint wns the average for the sale.
