Analyst Dave Weaber expects Q2 2023 hog slaughter and pork production to be near year-earlier levels, with Q3 seeing slight gains. He forecasts cutout values could rally to $90-95/cwt and producer-sold hogs to the low $90s during Q2, while noting a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on California Prop 12 is pending.
Expected stable-to-tighter supplies could support a seasonal hog price rally, modestly increasing demand for feed grains if producers expand, though gains are expected to be limited.
