Meat prices lag livestock gains in early season markets
Union Stockyards Chicago reports a 50 percent rise in hog prices from the season’s low and cattle up $1 to $1.50, yet overall meat prices show limited advance. Pork loins rise about seven dollars, while pork products gain 20 to 30 percent. wholesale carcasses rise from $11 to $12. The market’s restraint stems from broader economic conditions and a favorable corn hog ratio, with little indication of a sustained price surge. Slaughter and feeder movements shrink year over year, signaling tighter receipts and a small fall slaughter outlook.
