| Hilltop Husker - 11/5/2026 20:25 The packer picks the weights. That's why it varies from plant to plant.
But they've all be trending heavier for basically forever because they make more money by running more pounds through their packing plant. As long as they maintain their profit margin between hog cost and pork price out the door, they don't really care what it does to the hog/pork market.
2 lb heavier carcass is basically equal to 1% more hogs.
