Because of the reduced number of kill days over short weeks, it is essential that producers
be accurate on the number of animals being offered and delivered under contract. Unless otherwise stated
in contract or in writing by receiving booking staff, producers are obligated to ensure that contract delivery
requirements are met.
Producers are encouraged to contact their regular booking staff to discuss INCREASING their hog shipments the
weeks prior to and after a short week. This will help REDUCE hog volumes on a short week to accommodate for reduced
slaughter capacity.
