Cattle Rise to Record, Hogs Gain on Shrinking Meat Supply - Bloomberg:
"Cattle futures rose to a record as ranchers struggle to boost the U.S. herd from a 63-year low, and hogs climbed to a 34-month high after a virus that kills piglets spread, spurring concerns that meat supplies will shrink.
Beef output in the U.S., the world’s top producer, will fall 5.3 percent this year to 24.35 billion pounds (11.04 million metric tons), the lowest since 1994, the Department of Agriculture has forecast.
At the start of this year, the cattle herd fell to 87.7 million head, the lowest since 1951, following drought and high feed costs. "
