PSA announcement to all hog producers selling cash loads....take note of the topside number printed yesterday, that is real so don’t let your closest packer tell you different. Know freight costs, shipping pigs further can still return you higher $ and support market.
We have the highest pork cutout in February today since the PEDV years. Ham Portion of the cutout is about is a 35% higher than the 5 year average. The restocking of the hams in the freezer and the weak dollar should help this persist.
@SLCC_TheCorners @trentloos I saw this on our MN news station. To me, w/ the aggressive shut downs we’ve had, I too would have thought total traffic deaths would have been lower, but it appears not... https://t.co/9lc1OdFMjf
@ngter88 @JohnnyFarmer69 @ElenaNeroba You cannot put live hogs in a bag to save for later. You might have a 2-3 week sales window to push or pull on, but otherwise they gotta go. Right now, that’s a $75 loss per pig. Normal barns are 2,400 hd in Midwest, you do the math 😔
Lovin’ me some delicious @SmithfieldFoods#Pork Loin today. You can’t find a better cut for $1.49/LB. like at @HyVee here in Mankato last week! #145Degrees
