Hog Outlook: Hog Slaughter Up Again Following Thanksgiving Week

2016-12-05 01:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News

US - We've got another record. This week's hog slaughter totaled 2.540 million head, up 18.0 per cent from last week which was light because of Thanksgiving; up 4.8 per cent from the same week last year; and if not revised, the most ever in a week. Prior to this fall packers had never slaughtered 2.5 million hogs in a week. They have done it four times in the last seven weeks, write Ron Plain and Scott Brown, Ag Economics, MU.
