CME update: lean hog futures slip as backups persist at slaughter facilities

Lean hog futures slipped after USDA cold storage data showed only a slight drop in frozen pork supplies. Daily hog slaughter dipped to 380,000 head as backlogs persisted at plants.

WHY IT MATTERS

Persistent slaughter backlogs mean hog supply is outpacing processing, keeping hog prices under pressure and weakening demand for feed grains.
