# Hog, Cattle Futures Mixed After Week of Losses | Fox Business

> Lean hog and cattle futures traded sideways on Monday after a losing week. December lean hogs fell 0.3% to 62.3 cents/lb, and cash hog prices had dropped almost 10% from a late October peak. Packers slowed slaughter, creating a backlog of hogs that producers had to sell at a discount.
