Hog prices under pressure then improve later year
Iowa State extension economist Gene Futrell says the USDA March hogs report signals large midyear hog numbers but planned cuts in farrowings. He notes U.S. farm hogs on March 1 in ten Corn Belt states rose 9 percent from a year ago to 44 million, with market hogs up 13 percent and breeding hogs down 7 percent. Hogs over 180 pounds up 24 percent, 120 to 180 pounds up 22 percent, and 60 to 120 pounds up 13 percent.

Hog market outlook hints at staggered slaughter by weight group
Futrell notes March hogs over 180 pounds will be marketed by early April while 60 to 180 pound hogs move mainly April through June and under 60 pounds after July 1. Small rise in hogs under 60 pounds mirrors slower production upswing. December-February farrowings up 5 percent but pigs per litter fell, keeping pig crop uncertain.
