Hog slaughter under federal inspection fell about 10 percent, though average hog weight rose nearly 4 percent. Lard stocks declined to 29 million pounds from 34.4 million and 34.8 million a year ago. Beef in storage edged up year over year but remained well below the five year average, with little lamb and mutton. Turkey stocks rose sharply while roosters and fryers increased, offsetting declines in broilers. Dairy products and eggs remained substantially below last year, with much of the drop occurring since November 1.
