Hog Production Outlook for 1960 Following USDA Survey
The USDA reports farmers plan 12 percent fewer spring sow farrowings than 1959, triggering higher feeder pig and bred sow prices. Yet many expect producers to cut less than the survey shows. Past shifts show market signals arrive late. December price rises reflect demand for existing hogs, not more hogs. Rates of hogs on hand, slaughter, and young pigs suggest supplies remain tight for spring, with prices near $16 at terminal markets.
