Comments: Yesterday the April futures touched limit down and settled down 2.925 at 63.00 and the trade coughed up $40.00 of its gains.

We ARE looking for the seasonality high for 2020. The kill rate continues to be stronger than projected from the last H&P Report. Packers keep biding a little higher each day for the past six-days.

The carcass weights are holding firm suggesting producers still have plenty of market ready hogs in their barns.

Risk: I worry about what would happen to the price of hogs if the ASF VIRUS shows up here and exports tank. It could be a BIG problem.

Best wishes,
