Abstract

Using this budget, farmers can estimate the costs and returns associated with feeder pig production. Table 1 presents estimates for a confinement feeder pig operation in Missouri producing 24.2 pigs per sow per year and selling 23.6 feeder pigs at 50 pounds each. Assumptions were based on price forecasts as of October 2024. Detailed assumptions and feed requirements are summarized in Tables 2 and 3. The production practices used to develop these cost estimates are common for Missouri swine farms. Use the “Your estimate” column to estimate your operation’s costs and returns for 2025.
