						 | The Pig Site

> US lean hog cash prices averaged 60.24 cents per pound in late September, up about $30 per head from market lows, supported by strong pork cutout values of 79 cents per pound. Hurricane Florence reportedly killed about 4 million chickens and 5,500 pigs, with flooding disrupting farm labour, power and feed delivery.
