Plus you have one livestock class doing great. (Just like hogs guys had a bit of a different experience if they weren’t over leveraged at the time)

Guys raised a lot of hogs without any concrete, wooden huts and electric fence made it pretty painless to get out.

Or if you built your hog stuff 68-74 you were in a pretty good spot. (Hog guys bought a lot of good ground in Jefferson/Gage Co. at the lows after building confinements early)
