Rabobank's analysis of the March USDA Hogs and Pigs report shows the breeding herd down 2.1% year on year, while productivity rose 4.6%. Hog prices are up 21% year on year, and the pork cutout exceeded $100 per hundredweight, up 30%, helped by strong exports to Mexico, South Korea, Colombia and Australia.
