Farm Trends: Hog Prices Rise as Market Tightens
Hog prices climbed with barrows and gilts averaging 15.60 at 12 terminal markets, the best since October, while receipts fell to 512,000 head. USDA noted extra hogs but warned prices may rise only modestly due to weak cattle markets. Slaughter cattle and beef production set records as wholesale markets eased amid lower lamb and higher pork loins. Grain futures ended strong on CBOT amid disease outbreaks and dry weather in the Grain Belt.
