In this episode of Feedstuffs Precision Pork, Dave Bauer, senior market analyst for Provimi, offers some hog market perspective and market highlights for the week as well as provides things to think about as we enter the new year.
Does the Earth feel like it just may be tipping a bit? Well it just may be says Bauer because of a large migration happening on the opposite side of the world. Starting today and through the 17th of the month, the Chinese people are celebrating the year of the ox and it is historically when 1.4 billion people travel home and spend time with family. That also means news out of China will be at a stand still until everyone returns to work in a couple of weeks. For global markets that means essentially a standstill until the Chinese return to back to work. What might this mean for the hog industry? What too is going on with rogue virus strains of African swine fever in the Chinese market? Bauer shares his insight.

These are uncertain times and it will pay dividends to be well-prepared. If you have questions on this week’s recap or want to discuss something not covered, feel free to ASK DAVE at [email protected]. Plan today for tomorrow’s success.
