CME lean hog futures rose in deferred contracts after a USDA report showed producers plan 1% fewer sows farrowing from March to May and 3% fewer from June to August. Analysts were surprised, as they had expected slight increases.
The March 1 breeding herd was up slightly from last year.
Lower intended farrowings point to tighter future hog supply, supporting deferred hog prices and eventually reducing feed demand if producers cut herds. Analysts doubt the intentions will hold.
