　　我不认为印象中曾发生过这样的事情，但在星期二，生猪价格变为75美元并且还在变化。随后，四月的生猪价进一步降低了$5.00。

　　I don’t think I can recall this ever happening, but February hogs went off the board at $75?and change. Then, April became the lead month at a $5.00 discount.?

　　六月份生猪的价格在$79左右，但夏季的生猪价格很难让人感到激动，因为只比二月份高了$4.00。

　　June hogs are around $79 so it is a little tough to get excited about summer hog prices when they are only $4.00 higher than February.

　　我们仔细浏览着生猪的数据记录，了解了同时上涨的现金价格，这是一个不能被忽视的事实。在一年中价格较低时进行大量供货，提高市场价格，这是一种非常积极的表现。

　　We chewed through record numbers of hogs and moved cash higher at the same time, a fact that should not be ignored. When you can move a market higher with larger supplies at a time of year when prices usually move lower, that is very positive.

　　我想到了一句俗语，“永远不要站在一辆快速移动火车的前面”。除非市场出现另一种景象，否则我认为生猪价格会继续向上飙升，因为生猪屠宰量将在下降。但在未来两周内，我认为生猪价格将出现倒退。

　　The saying “never stand in front of a fast moving train” comes to mind. Until the market shows otherwise, I would look for hog prices to push higher from these levels, as we move into lower hog slaughter numbers. On a short term, however I think that cash hogs will back up over the next two weeks.

　　Pork Cutouts

　　图样的价格在一天的时间内降低了$4.00，也许这便是“买流言，卖新闻”的状况。

　　Cutout values dropped $4.00 in one day. Maybe this is “buy the rumor, sell the news” situation.

　　几个星期前的标题为“我们的咸猪肉要脱销了”。当我写下这一标题时腹肉的价格在一天的时间内下降了$24。一天下降15%的降幅也能成为一个记录（或接近记录）了。

　　A couple of weeks ago, the headline read “We are running out of Bacon.” As I write this, bellies are down over $24 in one day. A 15% drop in one day has also got to be a record (or darn close).

　　关于咸猪肉的最新文章为“价格下跌，咸猪肉的繁荣时代结束了！”

　　The latest article about bacon reads?“Price plunge marks end of bacon boom!”

　　如果我能正确了解这种状况两周前我们的咸猪肉供不应求，但今天，没有人想再吃咸猪肉了。我认为术语“虚假新闻”进入了生猪产业。

　　If I understand this correct, two weeks ago we were running out of bacon and today no one wants to eat it anymore. I think the term “fake news” has entered into the hog industry.

　　所有人一般都喜欢吃咸猪肉和猪肉。市场可能会在短期内发生扭转，正如所之前所说。但是当进入夏季时，我认为 我们仍会继续面对整体较高的价格水平。

　　Everyone loves bacon and pork in general. Markets might turn lower short term, as I stated. But as we head into summer, I believe we will continue an overall higher price.

　　Rosedale 团队开启了Baker Colony 猪场项目

　　Rosedale Team Launches Baker Colony

　　Baker殖民地是来自罗斯代尔殖民地的一个新项目，位于阿尔巴塔省Etzikom。殖民地位于Foremost东南部，是一块农业非常发达的地区。Baker 殖民地管理团队的成员有John Waldner、George Waldner和Joseph Hofer。猪部门将由Ed Hofer和Ken Waldner管理。

　　Baker Colony is the new project from Rosedale Colony, based in Etzikom, Alberta. The colony is situated southeast of Foremost, a thriving agricultural area. The management team of Baker Colony consists of John Waldner, George Waldner, and Joseph Hofer. The swine unit will be managed by Ed Hofer and Ken Waldner.

　　殖民地内种植着适合在该地区种植的普通大颗粒粮食，以及一些可轮作的特色作物。Baker也设置了一个新的露天生产流水作业区。新的猪部门占地122,000平方英尺，蓄养着600头母猪和小猪。参与Baker殖民地建设的公司有Big Dutchman、Mandel Enviro-Metal Solutions、Maverick Concrete以及Nor-Ag。殖民地在二月建设了一座大楼，约800可进入该大楼参观最新技术和设计，包括来自伯塔省、萨斯喀彻温省和蒙大拿的游客。

　　The colony grows regular large grains that suit the area, as well as specialty crops to maintain a good rotation. Baker also has a new 30,000 layer free run operation in production. The new swine unit is a 122,000 square feet facility that will house 600 sow farrow to finish. Companies involved in the construction of Baker Colony include Big Dutchman, Mandel Enviro-Metal Solutions, Maverick Concrete, and Nor-Ag. The colony held an open house in February, which approximately 800 people attended to see the latest technologies and designs, including visitors from Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Montana.

　　Baker殖民地的畜棚将在三月处引入来自Genesus的种畜。当问到该项目为什么选择Genesus时，管理层回复到Genesus是他们之前关系最好的合作伙伴。在Rosedale的其他农场内，Genesus的动物已证实为最可靠、吃苦耐劳、容易管理而且强壮的动物，其中PSY的数量超过了31。另外，Genesus杜洛克猪成品猪肉质量非常好，而这也是运输至Maple Leaf必须具备的条件。

　　Baker Colony’s barn will be filled with Genesus breeding stock in early March. When asked why Genesus was chosen for this project, management replied that their past relationship with Genesus has been second to none. On their other farm of Rosedale, Genesus animals have proven over time to be the most reliable, hard-working, easy to manage, and hardy animal, with PSY over 31 . In addition, the finished carcass from a Genesus Duroc is of excellent quality, which is required when shipping to Maple Leaf.

　　Genesus祝贺Baker整个团队成功发行了新的项目。

　　Genesus would like to congratulate the entire Baker Colony team on the successful launch of their new project.
