activity, as you well know, Dewey. Maybe that is why we do it - for the stimulation that we get.

As for me, the two most difficult months to trade hogs are July because we are leading up to the fall price trough and we don't know when it is going to hit and April because hogs are going to become in tight supply and we don't know when. And Mark Twain would say, "The other difficult months are October, January, June, May, November, December, August, February, October and September!"

Cut outs really came alive today so we may be about to get the "ITZ lift-off". You are ready and I need to get ready for it.

Best wishes,
