# Pigs rise? A strong five-day rally! Livestock ETF leads as the cycle’s “dawn” emerges?

> Chinese livestock-related shares and an animal-husbandry ETF rose, while the report cited a 10.7% year-over-year decline in the national sow herd to 36.02 million head at the end of the third quarter. Hog farms had endured 14 months of losses, but current hog prices remained low and supply was still ample; the article said any effect from sow-herd reductions on market hog supplies would take roughly 10 months to emerge.

## Why it matters

Persistent herd reductions could tighten future hog supplies and support prices once they feed through to slaughter, but that lag means near-term oversupply remains a constraint. The reported equity rally does not itself establish a confirmed turn in the hog cycle.
