Pork Commentary: US Breeding Herd Liquidating
US - The breeding herd on 1 September was down from 5,862 million sows on 1 June to 5,788 million, a decrease of 74,000. We expect most of the decline happened in July–August after the effects of the drought pushed feed prices to record levels, writes Jim Long, and he estimates the US herd is declining currently at about 8,000 per week.
