Pork/Hogs: Second-half pork production is reduced by about 180 million pounds on lower-than-expected availability of slaughter-ready hogs and fractionally lower average dressed weights in the third quarter. Total 2025 pork production is forecast at 27.6 billion pounds, a decrease of less than 1 percent compared with last year’s production. July pork exports were 3 percent lower than July 2024, driven by an 11-percent decrease in shipments to Mexico.
