The data show that carcassbased hog sales receive a price premium of $4.35 per live hundredweight. Likewise, hogs marketed at the optimal live weight, 244 pounds, receive a $0.26 per hundredweight premium. The data are also used to develop a futures-based hedging and forecasting model. Price forecasts are used to generate revenue estimates to assist with business planning. The results demonstrate a number of ways producers and agribusinesses can use sales data to improve their marketing and business planning. 000190711 650__ $$aAgribusiness 000190711 650__ $$aLivestock Production/Industries 000190711 650__ $$aMarketing 000190711 700__ $$aSanders, Dwight 000190711 700__ $$aApgar, Gary 000190711 700__ $$aManfredo, Mark R. 000190711 773__ $$q42$$o49 000190711 773__ $$tJournal of the ASFMRA (American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers)$$j2005 000190711 8564_ $$96099699d-c1ea-4eb3-ae74-2555bb439cb4$$s191789$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/190711/files/228.pdf 000190711 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/190711 000190711 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:190711$$pGLOBAL_SET 000190711 912__ $$nSubmitted by Allison Hasslen (hassl020@umn.edu) on 2014-12-02T21:19:00Z No. of bitstreams: 1 228.pdf: 191789 bytes, checksum: cfb0f10f427ed1c3a3fe5bd8ecd682ba (MD5) 000190711 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2014-12-02T21:19:00Z (GMT).
