# Market awash in hogs held back on farms; rising slaughter weights pressure prices

> Chinese hog marketing weights continued to rise as weak downstream demand left some heavier animals unsold, with the average transaction weight reaching 126.36 kilograms. Sample farms’ daily marketings increased 7.03% from late October, outpacing the 2.24% rise in slaughter volume, while heavy-hog supplies exceeded demand in some areas.

## Why it matters

Hog supply is increasing faster than processors can absorb it, adding near-term pressure to live-hog prices. Higher slaughter weights also mean more pork supply per animal marketed.
