US - We've got another record. This week's hog slaughter totaled 2.540 million head, up 18.0 per cent from last week which was light because of Thanksgiving; up 4.8 per cent from the same week last year; and if not revised, the most ever in a week. Prior to this fall packers had never slaughtered 2.5 million hogs in a week. They have done it four times in the last seven weeks, write Ron Plain and Scott Brown, Ag Economics, MU.

US - In last week's article I carelessly confused price per pound and price per hundredweight on retail pork.

That was down 0.9 cents per pound from the month before and down 13.0 cents per pound from a year ago, write Ron Plain and Scott Brown, Ag Economics, MU.
