 Cash hogs are expected to open just about unchanged on Wednesday. I'm John Perkins with the Brownfield Market Update. The call on cash hogs is steady today. It looks like some of those major buyers are short-bought and in need of near-term supplies, and that should help to cancel out at least some of the bearish impact of yesterday's drop in pork. It was down 252 at 95.31. The estimated hog slaughter yesterday was 481,000 head, 1,000 less than last week, but about 15,000 more than last year.
