Pricing Feeder Pigs (1975), J H. Mccoy, R V. Price, M L. Manuel, C E. Ward

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Recent increases in specialized production of feeder pigs has stimulated interest in various methods of pricing pigs outside traditional marketing channels. Most such methods are either negotiated pricing or formula pricing. In privately negotiated transactions, both seller and buyer must have approximately equal knowledge of markets and of grade and weight characteristics of the pigs. In addition, each should have about equal bargaining ability.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 13, 1975
