EMI Analytics says US hog production costs look favorable for the summer, with futures covering break-evens in the upper 60s per cwt. The March Hogs and Pigs report shows the breeding herd expanding and fall slaughter numbers likely higher than a year earlier.
Lower feed costs from large soybean and corn crops could cut break-evens further, but heavier fall supply is expected to pressure hog prices. Price forecasts were raised to the low 70s for summer and the low 60s for fall.
