Agricultural economists Glynn Tonsor and Lee Schulz modeled the price effects of meat plant closures tied to COVID-19. Their beef model links a 1% cut in processing capacity to a 1.32% drop in fed cattle prices.
Their hog model links a 1% cut in pork packing capacity to a 1.82% drop in hog prices.
Packing capacity losses from COVID-19 closures could push cattle and hog prices lower because the industry has little spare slaughter capacity. Feeder buyers should watch plant utilization closely.

Economist modeling published April 13 linked a 1% cut in pork packing capacity to a 1.82% drop in hog prices, so plant closures were framed as strongly bearish for hogs ahead of the April 15 drop.
