Egg sets drop
Chicken supplies have been trending down in recent months and data from the USDA indicates the situation will likely not improve anytime soon.
Faced with sharply higher feed costs and softer food service demand, broiler producers have embarked on another round of cutbacks, similar to what we saw following the recession and bankruptcy of the top broiler producer at the time, Pilgrim’s Pride.

Our Reply: Thanks Adam. I've attached two pictures that were submitted to the blog after the storm in July, as a reminder of how bad it seemed at the time!

Herd rebuilding will have to wait
The monthly slaughter data released Oct. 21, confirmed what a flurry of weekly reports and anecdotal reports had been saying for sometime. The pace of cow and heifer slaughter accelerated in September and herd rebuilding will likely have to wait a bit longer.
USDA reported that US beef producers sent 1.414 million head of female cattle (heifers and cows) to slaughter in September, about 1% more than the comparable period a year ago and 8.5% more than the five year average for the month. The increase in female cattle slaughter was due to a sharp increase in the number of cows coming to market. Heifer slaughter for the month was down 6% from a year ago while total cow slaughter rose 12%. Year to date cow slaughter is up 200,000 head or 4.2% compared to the same period a year ago while heifer slaughter for the year is down 1.3%.
