BIOLOGICAL LAG PRODUCERS REACT TO ECONOMIC INFORMATION TODAY -- PRODUCTION DOES NOT TAKE PLACE UNTIL SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE.
Production Lags Due to Biological Lags Swine Slaughter 5-6 Months Pig Born 3.75 months Slaughter Gilt Bred 5-6 months 7-8 months Pig Born Pig Born 3.75 months Gilt Bred 18 months 7-8 months Pig Born
PRODUCERS BECOME OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THEIR INDUSTRY AND THEN BECOME PESSIMISTIC.
OPTIMISM BRINGS ABOUT AN EXPANSION OR ACCUMULATION IN THE LIVESTOCK HERD -- PESSIMISM BRINGS ABOUT A REDUCTION OR LIQUIDATION IN THE HERD.
1) HIGH PRICES ->INCREASE IN BREEDING STOCK -> HIGHER PRICES 2) MORE BREEDING STOCK -> MORE MARKET ANIMALS -> LOWER PRICES
3) LOWER PRICES -> REDUCTION IN BREEDING STOCK -> LOWER PRICES 4) LOWER BREEDING STOCK -> MEANS FEWER MARKET ANIMALS -> HIGHER PRICES
COBWEB MODEL 1) QUANTITY TODAY = f( PRICE IN THE PAST) 2) QUANTITY SUPPLIED = QUANTITY DEMANDED 3) PRICE TODAY = f(QUANTITY SUPPLIED (DEMANDED) TODAY)
COBWEB MODEL 1) QUANTITY TODAY = f( PRICE IN THE PAST) example: the price of hogs today will impact the quantity of pork coming to market a year from now 2) QUANTITY SUPPLIED = QUANTITY DEMANDED 3) PRICE TODAY = f(QUANTITY SUPPLIED (DEMANDED) TODAY)
COBWEB MODEL 1) QUANTITY TODAY = f( PRICE IN THE PAST) 2) QUANTITY SUPPLIED = QUANTITY DEMANDED (this means that the product is not stored) 3) PRICE TODAY = f(QUANTITY SUPPLIED (DEMANDED) TODAY)
COBWEB MODEL 1) QUANTITY TODAY = f( PRICE IN THE PAST) 2) QUANTITY SUPPLIED = QUANTITY DEMANDED • PRICE TODAY = f(QUANTITY SUPPLIED (DEMANDED) TODAY) What comes to market today must be cleared today.

HOG/CORN RATIO PRICE OF HOGS PER HUNDRED WEIGHT/PRICE OF CORN PER BUSHEL
PRICE OF HOGS = $45/CWT PRICE OF CORN = $4.00/BU 45/4 = 11.25 HOG/CORN RATIO

What is today’s hog/corn ratio?Dec Corn = $4.66/buDec Lean Hogs = $62.50/cwtLean Hogs to Live Hogs .74$62.50 * .74 = $46.2546.25/4.66= 10 to 1
SEASONAL PRICE VARIATION A PRICE PATTERN THAT TAKES PLACE DURING A 12 MONTH PERIOD OF TIME
SEASONAL PRICE PATTERNS A PATTERN OF PRICES THAT REPEAT EACH YEAR
SEASONAL PRICE VARIATION A PRICE PATTERN THAT TAKES PLACE DURING A 12 MONTH PERIOD OF TIME
SEASONALITY OF SUPPLY SEASONALITY OF DEMAND OR COMBINATION OF BOTH
(Monthly Price/Annual Average Price)*100 (53.09/51.30) * 100 = 103.5
