All pork pricing trends are based on USDA data as of May 29, 2026.
The USDA reported a weekly hog harvest of 1.885 MM hogs last week. This level is roughly 18.8% lower than the prior week, due reduced production schedules for Memorial Day. Running harvest level year-to-date is down 0.8% compared to last year.
Loins 
Both bone-in and boneless loins increased. Seasonal demand is fair and relatively steady, and supply is good, according to analysts. Variable promotion is reported for the retail channel. Historically, the bone-in loin market continues to edge marginally higher well into July, while the boneless loins have tended to be more rangebound.
Tenders
The pork tenderloin market continued to edge slightly higher. Supply is good, while demand has been fair and variable, according to analysts. The USDA continues to report varying levels of promotional frequency in the retail space, with last week slightly below the prior week. Historically, the tenderloin market has remained relatively well-supported through June.
Butts
The bone-in butt market continued higher but at a slower rate of increase than in recent weeks. Supply remains cyclically strong but is beginning to tighten as harvest levels decline seasonally, while demand is trending seasonally higher, according to analysts. Historically, the butt markets climb gradually higher in May and sustain that support into June.
Ribs
All varieties of ribs increased due to demand for grilling season, according to analysts. The USDA is reporting continued featured activity across rib varieties. Historically, both the rib markets trend directionally higher in spring and summer due to improving seasonal demand.
Bellies/Bacon 
Downward momentum over the past several weeks in the belly complex seems to be stalling. Bellies are at a discount to recent years, representing a great value, according to analysts. The USDA-reported frequency of bacon features in the retail channel was down from the prior week but still very active. Historically, the belly market rises by late June.
Hams
Both light and heavy hams markets increased and are seemingly beginning to pivot higher. Supply remains good on a seasonal basis and cold storage inventories are elevated, while demand remains variable, according to analysts. Historically, the ham markets become steady or move higher during June due to increasing deli ham and lunch meat demand, according to analysts.
Trimmings
Both 72% lean and 42% fat trimmings pivoted sharply higher. Supply is good and demand is mostly supportive, according to analysts, who note that since pork trimmings can substitute for beef trimmings, there is a risk of volatility in the pork trimmings markets, as the beef market is currently very strong. Traditionally, the pork trimming markets increase during June as grilling season ramps up and drives stronger demand from further processors.
Picnics
Bone-in picnics began to move up, following a counter-seasonal correction, while the boneless picnics continued higher. Historically, the bone-in picnic market ebbs and flows directionally higher throughout the calendar year, while the boneless picnic market trends higher as the weather warms due to increases in raw material demand from further processors.
