Abundant pigs

2017-06-16 18:42:00| National Hog Farmer

“We have plenty of pigs”, says Steve Meyer, market analyst for EMI Analytics, at the World Pork Expo.  U.S. pork production is anticipated to climb 3% this year. Meyer also expects to break last year’s record this fall for the number of hogs slaughtered. This will pressure hog prices downward to breakeven levels – low of $60/cwt. – during the fourth quarter. With strong exports, Meyer predicts a profitable year for America’s pig farmers.
