Despite historically high alternative protein prices, pork consumption growth is struggling. Sure, we are seeing a notable run in pork rib prices for the grilling season, but the overall complex is not seeing near the market gains of chicken and beef. And Klump strong ("Hercules") gains in pig per litter yields shouldn't trigger any supply concerns for later this year. ![](https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/D4E12AQHds4IEXzEx8g/article-inline_image-shrink_1500_2232/0/1713362323673?e=1719446400&v=beta&t=HN7xrSSn3yyKeEjYqJZ6pzzJMlqwlNBPQeBmFq9uf2o)
