# A Lower Pork Cutout Does Not Automatically Mean Cheaper Bacon, Ribs or Sausage

> The US pork cutout fell 2% week over week and 28% year over year for the week ending November 6, 2026, but individual cuts moved unevenly. Bellies and spareribs declined sharply, 42% trim rose 39% week over week, and some ham categories also gained.

## Why it matters

The mixed movement in pork components means cheaper carcass values do not necessarily translate into lower costs for specific processed products. The cutout decline is bearish for pork overall, but divergent cut prices create different cost pressures by product mix.
