Dear AS: I had visions of a "cattle drive" of pigs. I could find only one mention of "hog run" on Internet, and it appeared to relate to number of hogs delivered to packing plants in a state.

From the news story of February 7, 1995: "The Iowa daily "hog run" was 107,000 head yesterday,
below 113,000 the previous week, according to the Department of Agriculture. The run is estimated
at 100,000 head today, below 105,000 last week, the USDA said." So why would *less* hogs going
to market have any significance to us vegetarians?
