For most of the time, the usual word for the king of ancient Egypt was nesu, but a whole range of titles were applicable to any full statement of a king's names and titulary. According to Egyptian legend, the first kings of Egypt were later some of Egypt's most famous gods.
More recently, there has been a reduction in the number of yield and weight classes in the national index grid, while focusing on leanness and core weight hogs of 75 to 90 kg.This provides incentives to producers to market hogs that fall in that core area, in line with consumer's demand for leaner pork.roducers receive their payment through their marketing organization on a dressed carcass weight basis. The principal driving force towards leaner hogs in Canada has been the carcass classification and settlement system which, since 1968, has provided a national standard set of weight and leanness categories.
However, with more pigs per litter and heavier weights, pork production is expected to be only about one percent smaller. Live hog prices in 2015 averaged $50.23 per hundredweight for 51 percent to 52 percent lean carcasses, according to USDA. My current forecast is that prices will be in a range of $49 to $54 for all of 2016, about $1 higher than last year. Live weight prices averaged about $46 in the first quarter of this year. Prices are expected to rise to the $55 to $58 range for averages in the second and third quarters and finish the year in the mid-to-higher $40s. Hog prices stand ready to make their normal seasonal rally into the early summer.
