Lean hog futures are well above uptrend lines, but I would continue to look at short hedges.
Huge profit margins can be locked in and if the $76 or so cash market, $56-57 on a live basis, starts to weaken on a seasonal basis, short hedges out through the end of the year will make sense.
It is hard to make a mistake if you can lock in profits up to $50 per head.
