> Lean hog futures have shown volatility, with several moves of more than 5% since the start of the year. Limited trim supply and lower-than-expected slaughter have supported some pork segments. Ham prices have been influenced by trade war speculation involving Mexico, and a large Mexican order has lifted values ahead of Easter.
