Pork- Pork production last week rose 2.1% but was 3.6% less than last year.  The USDA is forecasting 2009 first quarter pork output to be 1.7% less than 2008’s large production but still be notably higher (9.7%) than the same time period in 2007.  The USDA pork cutout is trading in somewhat of a sideways pattern.  History suggests that the pork cutout should remain in the $55 to $65 range through the first part of April.  Cyclical charts indicate that the baby back rib market may move modestly higher during the same time period.
