Runner market commentary

Trading was quiet to close out the week. Porcine MBM out of the Mo. River market is finishing week at a $45 premium to the Mo. River ruminant market. For the 2015 – 2017 period, the average spread for August is $28.99 and the spread for September of the same years is $17.64.
