| Item Description: | Weight-loss in live hogs, commonly called shrinkage or drift, is an important factor affecting dressage yield. Probable dressing yield is an important consideration by packers when buying hogs for slaughter as hogs that dress out a large proportion of carcass in relation to purchased live weight are in greatest demand and command higher prices. |
