Hog futures are higher at Noon today. Traders are pleased to see the uptick in demand as the morning pork cutout value is higher. June, July and August lean hogs are all currently up. What's most encouraging to note about the midday cutout value is it's being supported by the majority of the cuts.

Cash hog prices are unreported this morning, this morning cutout value is higher.
