In this episode of Feedstuffs Precision Pork, Dave Bauer, senior market analyst for Provimi, offers some hog market perspective and market highlights for the week as well as provides things to think about in the week ahead.

The hog market saw incredible swells this week, spurred by the weather and a wild rumor of a case of African swine fever in Iowa.

Exports were 12% of weekly pork production, with Mexico leading sales, followed by Japan and then China.

Bauer recommends paying attention to the weather over the weekend as it could greatly influence the market with drought continues in some key areas.

Profitability, according to Bauer, looks to be around $65/head for the next 30 days before dipping a bit. Take a listen to find out more.

These are uncertain times, and it will pay dividends to be well-prepared. If you have questions on this week’s recap or want to discuss something not covered, feel free to ASK DAVE at [email protected]
