Let’s more closely examine individual “growth factors.”
Key Factors Supporting Moderate-to-Aggressive Expansion
• Several greenfield projects adding for 2019-20, including new facilities by Mountaire (NC), Sanderson
Farms (TX), Tyson (TN), Costco/Lincoln Premium Poultry (NE), Simmons Foods (AR), and Bell &
Evans (PA).
• Also numerous plant renovations, with total capacity increase >10%.
• Sense of an “export opportunity” with ASF in China.
• Excellent Q2 profit margins (estimated net returns of +$0.15 per pound on a ready-to-cook basis).
• Extended run (5+ years) of good to, at times, phenomenal profitability by the industry.
US BROILER INDUSTRY IS EXPANDING, BUT AT WHAT PACE?
Confidential. © Copyright Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2018. Not for distribution.
11 |
• Feed cost (and margin) outlook; corn is bigger concern than soybean meal.
• Restrained breeder flock growth to go along with a rebound in productivity following years of decline.
• Slower path to “full capacity” for new plants today than historically; owing to a more challenging
recruitment process (higher cap-ex requirements for growers, tighter lending standards, more rules,
etc.)
KEY FACTORS SUPPORTING MODEST EXPANSION
Confidential. © Copyright Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2018. Not for distribution.
12 |
• Industry mergers and consolidation (Tyson/Keystone Foods & George’s/OMP as recent examples) give
individual producers greater control over supply chain.
• Integrators have stricter controls over contract growers than ever before (recent calls for GIPSA
oversight have gone nowhere), leading to more timely “adjustments” to bird weights, down-time
between flocks, etc.
• Longer-term decline in livability, possibly owing to ABF/NAE adoption.

TOTAL US BROILER EXPORTS
• Broiler industry has been looking for an
export “jolt” for some time.
• Export program hasn’t recovered from
losing access to Russia (2014) and trade
disruptions from bird flu outbreak (2015).
• CAGR during 10-year period covering
2008-18 was just 0.2%.
• Huge broiler production increases in
Russia (+34% over last 5 years), Thailand
(+33%), Colombia (+27%), Turkey
(+21%), and Mexico (+20%) while Brazil
also remains very competitive have
limited US export opportunities.

TOTAL US BROILER EXPORTS
• Will there be a “bump” in chicken exports
to China (and nearby) because of ASF?
We think so but not necessarily one out of
line with past elevated trading levels.
• Still hinges on some kind of a trade deal
getting done, and the Chinese
government appears determined that US
benefits as little as possible from their
troubles.
• Ample talk of Chinese consumers being
more “pork-averse” and switching to
chicken because of recent ASF issues,
encouraging news for US poultry
companies.

PER CAPITA DISAPPEARNACE OF BEEF, PORK, CHICKEN, and
TURKEY IN THE US, BONELESS WEIGHT BASIS
• Even with export gains to China/Asia,
domestic per capita availability of chicken
is heading into record territory.
• 2020 should represent an 8th consecutive
year of increasing per capita chicken
supplies; total increase of 10 pounds
(+18%) during this 8-year period.
• Need more of an export bump from ASF
(or something else) to avoid massive
domestic supply load of all red meat and
poultry; will at least approach, if not enter,
record territory next year.

LEAP MARKET ANALYTICS BROILER DEMAND INDEX
• Chicken demand slumped to historically
weak levels during the second half of
2018.
• Cheap prices almost across the board
coupled with “beef fatigue” set the stage
for a turnaround during the first half of this
year.
• Despite the improvement, chicken
demand remains no better than “normal”
and is showing signs of rolling over again.
• Surging wing and dark meat demand has
led broader recovery in demand across
the carcass.

LEAP MARKET ANALYTICS BROILER WING DEMAND INDEX
• Last year’s “hiccup” notwithstanding, wing
demand has mostly sustained at very high
levels, relatively speaking, over the past
4-5 years.
• Large amount of infrastructure devoted to
marketing wings, with supermarket “hot
bars” and wing-centric restaurants fueling
demand growth more recently.
• Year-round wing consumption increasingly
promoted, smoothing seasonal price
differentials.
• Buyers forced to substitute and/or
supplement with “boneless wings.”

• A “subjective” assessment of price performance across the cutout:
• wings = very strong
• tenderloins, b/s thigh meat, leg quarters, and whole broilers = above average to moderately strong
• drumsticks, front halves, and b/s breast meat = mediocre to poor
• Boneless skinless thigh meat posted a higher average annual price than boneless skinless breast meat
for the first time ever in 2018 and should do so again in both 2019 and 2020.
• Look for b/s breast meat to remain relatively cheap and very plentiful for the foreseeable future. While
this product once “led the cutout,” it’s increasingly a drag on the cutout.
• Composite average chicken prices figure to post a solid increase this year over 2018 thanks to much-
improved demand, but sliding demand and robust supplies argue for more defensive markets in 2020.
• While a repeat of the “demand disaster” that unfolded during the second half of 2018 isn’t quite
expected in 2020, what happened last year was definitely a reminder of just how much chicken
demand can suffer when beef and pork are plentiful and relatively affordable.

US MARKET OUTLOOK:
JULY 2019 LEAN HOG FUTURES
38 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution.
WEEKLY AVG SLAUGHTER
• Swine slaughter during June averaged 9%
greater than a year ago.
• USDA’s estimate of the Dec/Feb pig crop was
only up about 3%.
• This bulge in supply was likely caused by hog
producers holding back animals in May in
response to high summer futures prices.
• There is always a risk that USDA
underestimated the Dec/Feb pig crop.
39 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution.
FL DRESSED WT., BARROW & GILTS
• Barrow and gilt weights are now five pounds
over last year.
• Carcass weights failed to break lower in May,
which is the typical seasonal pattern.
• This is also evidence of “holding back” by hog
producers in response to high summer futures.
• Cool spring temperatures in the Midwest likely
boosted weight gains on hogs.
• The forecast looks for weights to come down
seasonally, but a relatively large YOY gap
remains.
40 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution.
YOY % CHANGE IN PIG CROP BY QUARTER
• The most recent Hogs and Pigs report
pegged the March/May pig crop to be 3.7%
greater than last year.
• This follows a long pattern of increasing pig
crops that began in late 2014.
• These are hogs that will come to slaughter
during the Sep/Nov quarter this fall.
• Clearly, there should be more pork available
this fall than last year unless China starts
sucking huge volumes of pork out of the US
market.
41 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution.
YOY % CHANGE IN PIGS SAVED PER LITTER BY QUARTER
• The most surprising number in the recent Hogs
and Pigs report was the estimate of the
number of pigs saved per litter, which reached
11.0 for the first time ever.
• That was a 3.5% increase over the same
period last year and a very big boost in
productivity.
• The only other time we saw productivity
increase this much was in 2015 as the industry
was recovering from the PEDv epidemic.
• This boost could be related to better control of
the PRRS virus and if so, it could mean strong
productivity in the next few quarters.
42 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution.
• Domestic pork demand appeared strong
during May, the last month for which
complete data exists.
• However, the same scatter diagrams for
June and July don’t look nearly as
strong.
• The reading for May, 2019 was second
only to May, 2014 when the PEDv
epidemic caught buyers short and
generated a lot of panic buying.
• Fears about ASF in China causing a
surge in US pork exports likely helped
generate this strong result.
PORK CUTOUT VS. PER CAPITA DOMESTIC DISAPPEARANCE,
MAY
43 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution.
PORK SUPPLY CHAIN MARGINS
• The combined producer + packer margin
turned decidedly negative over the past few
weeks.
• This is an indicator of overall demand since
sudden improvements in demand often lead
to out-sized margins at the packer level and
eventually the producer level.
• This indicator was particularly strong during
May, confirming what we see in the scatter
diagram.
• The combined margin is now below zero and
could be signaling further demand erosion
on the horizon.
44 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution.
WEEKLY PORK EXPORTS TO CHINA
• The weekly USDA trade data indicates that
pork shipments to China have escalated
rapidly in recent weeks.
• However, this data is somewhat unreliable
and often does not correlate well with the
official trade data released by ERS.
• China banned pork imports from Canada
recently after discovering forged documents
and ractopamine residue in the product
shipped.
• More than half of US pork production is
accomplished using ractopamine and that
product is ineligible to be shipped to China.
45 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution.
TOTAL PORK EXPORTS REQUIRE TO JUSTIFY CURRENT
FUTURES PRICES
• USDA recently released the official carcass-
weight export data for May.
• Total US pork exports were down about 1%.
• Bigger movement to China was more than
offset by smaller movement to Mexico.
• Mexico tends to be one of the most price-
sensitive buyers of US pork.
• The weekly trade data suggested that May
pork exports would be up 10%, but they were
down 1%. This highlights the unreliable
nature of the weekly data.
46 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution.
+81%
-33%
• The cutout has struggled recently under the
weight of really large production recently.
• Daily kills in recent weeks have been in the 470-
480,000 head range. That is more typical for fall
than it is in the middle of summer when hog
numbers should be tightest.
• Domestic demand has been weak lately also,
further weighing on the cutout.
• Cutout values going forward will be dependent
upon how much product moves into export
channels. Currently our cutout forecast assumes
a 6% YOY increase in pork exports in the second
half of the year.
47 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution.
PORK CUTOUT
JSF LEAN HOG FUTURES MIS-PRICING
• After peaking around $102 in early April on
ASF fears, lean hog futures have steadily
declined.
• Still, the deferred futures maintain an “ASF
premium” generated by buyers who believe
that the ASF outbreak in China will eventually
elevate US hog prices greatly.
• JSF sees some ASF premium as warranted,
but the market has priced in way too much.
• This will make forward offers on pork for Q3
and Q4 look really high to buyers and many
may forgo booking and remain in the spot
market. That is likely to be a winning
strategy.

CATTLE &
BEEF
US MARKET OUTLOOK:
EST FI S&H SLAUGHTER
• June steer and heifer slaughter was up 1.8%
YOY, with fed kills averaging around 535,000
head per week
• Our models suggest that kills could be even
larger in July, perhaps exceeding 550,000
head per week.
• Strong packer profitability is driving the desire
to keep kills high.
• However, packers may find that in order to
keep kills elevated, they may have to bid up
the price of cattle to a point where margins
suffer.
54 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution.
DETRENDED & DESEASONALIZED STEER CARCASS WEIGHTS
• Steer carcass weights are running about 11
pounds below last year, while heifer weights
are 3 pounds under last year.
• However, carcass weights are not keeping
pace with the long run trend and the normal
seasonal increase.
• The DTDS weights are now down around -
40—near record lows.
• This suggests that feedyards are very current
in their marketings and that may put them in a
position to resist lower packer bids.
55 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution.
MONTHLY COMMERICAL BEEF PRODUCTION, 2019 vs. 2018
• Beef production during Q3 is projected to be
up at least 6% from last year as large
placements from the Feb/Mar/Apr period
become market ready.
• Non-fed (cow and bull) slaughter will
contribute to the YOY increase and is
currently projected to be up about 6% in Q3
also.
• Q4 is looking to post a smaller increase in
beef production, perhaps about 3%, but that
is dependent upon the level of placements
we see this summer.
• For 2019 as a whole, we see beef
production up 2.4% from last year.

}
Q1 = -0.8% Q2 = +0.6% Q3 = +6.6% Q4 = +2.9%
• Domestic beef demand registered fairly strong
during May, but appears to have softened
considerably in June
• Lower pork prices during June may partially
explain some of the erosion in beef demand.
• The July/Aug period is typically a very weak
demand period due to hot weather and a lack of
holiday celebrations.
• In all, domestic beef demand looks a little weak,
but not seriously so. Institutional buying in the
second half of July and early August could
reverse that trend.

BLENDED CUTOUTS
BEEF SUPPLY CHAIN MARGINS
• The combined margin (packer + feeder) is
tracking within the range it has been stuck in
for the last couple of years.
• This indicator doesn’t yet seem to be pointing
to any significant problems with beef demand
so far this summer.
• Beef packer margins last week were
estimated to be over $175 per head while
cattle feeding margins were negative by $115
per head.
58 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution.
MONTHLY BEEF EXPORTS, 2019 vs. 2018
• On the international front, beef exports in May
were very close to last year after tracking well
below last year for the first four months of
2019.
• Lower beef prices during June and July
should allow some modest year-over-year
increases in beef exports.
• A weakening global economy is a threat to
beef exports in the second half of 2019.
• JSF’s current forecast has total beef exports
for 2019 down 3%, with the risk that they
could be down even more if the global
economy softens dramatically late in the year.

BLENDED BEEF CUTOUT MINUS PORK CUTOUT
• Softer pork prices over the past few weeks
have made beef less competitive relative to
pork.
• The beef/pork price spread is now about $20
higher than it was last year.
• Both beef and pork prices are projected lower
in late July and early August, so this spread
might not change much in the near term.
• However, retailers are averse to pork features
after this spring’s ASF scare and price run up.
If that persists, it could weigh on pork prices
and hurt beef’s competitive position further.

CHOICE CUTOUT
• The Choice cutout averaged very close to last
year in June, but well below the 2017 peak.
• Big production later this summer is likely to
push cutout values below year ago and keep
them on a downward path until October.
• Cattle prices might not follow beef prices
lower, given the high level of currentness
feedyards are experiencing. That would
mean that packer margins shrink as we head
into fall.
• Current projections have the Choice cutout
averaging $213 in 2019, about $1 below last
year.

JSF LIVE CATTLE FUTURES MIS-PRICING
• Aug live cattle futures still look a tad too
cheap at current levels.
• However, the board looks too optimistic from
Oct onward, particularly for the 2020
contracts.
• Beef production could be as much as 3%
higher in 2020 and a weakening economy
could keep 2020 demand soft. At times we
may see cattle prices below $100 in 2020.
• Overall however, the cattle and beef complex
seems to be in pretty good balance currently,
unlike the hog and pork markets.

HAM PRIMAL
• Hams are another key primal to watch
because Mexico takes a lot of US hams.
• President Trump’s threat to re-impose
tariffs on Mexico in June caused Mexican
buyers to scramble and drove the ham
primal to a peak in early June.
• Those tariffs now appear to be off the
table, although Trump’s unpredictable
nature raises the risk that they will pop up
again.
• Ham prices in Q3 are expect to be near
the levels seen last year, even with larger
production.
70 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution.
CH. BRISKET PRIMAL
• Briskets caught fire this spring and the primal
peaked at $230. It has since declined, but is
holding above last years levels.
• Strong demand for briskets from foodservice
operators specializing in BBQ likely explains
the brisket’s strong performance this year.
• The forecast has briskets moving back closer
to last year’s level in Q3, but prices should
still be historically strong.

  • 10. Confidential. © Copyright Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2018.

US BROILER INDUSTRY IS EXPANDING, BUT AT WHAT PACE?
  • 11. Confidential. © Copyright Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2018. Not for distribution. 11 | • Feed cost (and margin) outlook; corn is bigger concern than soybean meal. • Restrained breeder flock growth to go along with a rebound in productivity following years of decline. • Slower path to “full capacity” for new plants today than historically; owing to a more challenging recruitment process (higher cap-ex requirements for growers, tighter lending standards, more rules, etc.) KEY FACTORS SUPPORTING MODEST EXPANSION
  • 12. Confidential. © Copyright Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2018. Not for distribution. 12 | • Industry mergers and consolidation (Tyson/Keystone Foods & George’s/OMP as recent examples) give individual producers greater control over supply chain. • Integrators have stricter controls over contract growers than ever before (recent calls for GIPSA oversight have gone nowhere), leading to more timely “adjustments” to bird weights, down-time between flocks, etc. • Longer-term decline in livability, possibly owing to ABF/NAE adoption.

  • 19. TOTAL US BROILER EXPORTS • Broiler industry has been looking for an export “jolt” for some time. • Export program hasn’t recovered from losing access to Russia (2014) and trade disruptions from bird flu outbreak (2015). • CAGR during 10-year period covering 2008-18 was just 0.2%. • Huge broiler production increases in Russia (+34% over last 5 years), Thailand (+33%), Colombia (+27%), Turkey (+21%), and Mexico (+20%) while Brazil also remains very competitive have limited US export opportunities. 19 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S.

  • 21. TOTAL US BROILER EXPORTS • Will there be a “bump” in chicken exports to China (and nearby) because of ASF? We think so but not necessarily one out of line with past elevated trading levels. • Still hinges on some kind of a trade deal getting done, and the Chinese government appears determined that US benefits as little as possible from their troubles. • Ample talk of Chinese consumers being more “pork-averse” and switching to chicken because of recent ASF issues, encouraging news for US poultry companies. 21 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S.

  • 22. PER CAPITA DISAPPEARNACE OF BEEF, PORK, CHICKEN, and TURKEY IN THE US, BONELESS WEIGHT BASIS • Even with export gains to China/Asia, domestic per capita availability of chicken is heading into record territory. • 2020 should represent an 8th consecutive year of increasing per capita chicken supplies; total increase of 10 pounds (+18%) during this 8-year period. • Need more of an export bump from ASF (or something else) to avoid massive domestic supply load of all red meat and poultry; will at least approach, if not enter, record territory next year. 22 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S.

  • 24. LEAP MARKET ANALYTICS BROILER DEMAND INDEX • Chicken demand slumped to historically weak levels during the second half of 2018. • Cheap prices almost across the board coupled with “beef fatigue” set the stage for a turnaround during the first half of this year. • Despite the improvement, chicken demand remains no better than “normal” and is showing signs of rolling over again. • Surging wing and dark meat demand has led broader recovery in demand across the carcass. 24 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S.

  • 26. LEAP MARKET ANALYTICS BROILER WING DEMAND INDEX • Last year’s “hiccup” notwithstanding, wing demand has mostly sustained at very high levels, relatively speaking, over the past 4-5 years. • Large amount of infrastructure devoted to marketing wings, with supermarket “hot bars” and wing-centric restaurants fueling demand growth more recently. • Year-round wing consumption increasingly promoted, smoothing seasonal price differentials. • Buyers forced to substitute and/or supplement with “boneless wings.” 26 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S.

  • 29. Confidential. © Copyright Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2018. Not for distribution. 29 | • A “subjective” assessment of price performance across the cutout: • wings = very strong • tenderloins, b/s thigh meat, leg quarters, and whole broilers = above average to moderately strong • drumsticks, front halves, and b/s breast meat = mediocre to poor • Boneless skinless thigh meat posted a higher average annual price than boneless skinless breast meat for the first time ever in 2018 and should do so again in both 2019 and 2020. • Look for b/s breast meat to remain relatively cheap and very plentiful for the foreseeable future. While this product once “led the cutout,” it’s increasingly a drag on the cutout. • Composite average chicken prices figure to post a solid increase this year over 2018 thanks to much- improved demand, but sliding demand and robust supplies argue for more defensive markets in 2020. • While a repeat of the “demand disaster” that unfolded during the second half of 2018 isn’t quite expected in 2020, what happened last year was definitely a reminder of just how much chicken demand can suffer when beef and pork are plentiful and relatively affordable.

  • 39. WEEKLY AVG SLAUGHTER • Swine slaughter during June averaged 9% greater than a year ago. • USDA’s estimate of the Dec/Feb pig crop was only up about 3%. • This bulge in supply was likely caused by hog producers holding back animals in May in response to high summer futures prices. • There is always a risk that USDA underestimated the Dec/Feb pig crop. 39 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution.
  • 40. FL DRESSED WT., BARROW & GILTS • Barrow and gilt weights are now five pounds over last year. • Carcass weights failed to break lower in May, which is the typical seasonal pattern. • This is also evidence of “holding back” by hog producers in response to high summer futures. • Cool spring temperatures in the Midwest likely boosted weight gains on hogs. • The forecast looks for weights to come down seasonally, but a relatively large YOY gap remains. 40 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution.
  • 41. YOY % CHANGE IN PIG CROP BY QUARTER • The most recent Hogs and Pigs report pegged the March/May pig crop to be 3.7% greater than last year. • This follows a long pattern of increasing pig crops that began in late 2014. • These are hogs that will come to slaughter during the Sep/Nov quarter this fall. • Clearly, there should be more pork available this fall than last year unless China starts sucking huge volumes of pork out of the US market. 41 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution.
  • 42. YOY % CHANGE IN PIGS SAVED PER LITTER BY QUARTER • The most surprising number in the recent Hogs and Pigs report was the estimate of the number of pigs saved per litter, which reached 11.0 for the first time ever. • That was a 3.5% increase over the same period last year and a very big boost in productivity. • The only other time we saw productivity increase this much was in 2015 as the industry was recovering from the PEDv epidemic. • This boost could be related to better control of the PRRS virus and if so, it could mean strong productivity in the next few quarters. 42 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution.
  • 43. • Domestic pork demand appeared strong during May, the last month for which complete data exists. • However, the same scatter diagrams for June and July don’t look nearly as strong. • The reading for May, 2019 was second only to May, 2014 when the PEDv epidemic caught buyers short and generated a lot of panic buying. • Fears about ASF in China causing a surge in US pork exports likely helped generate this strong result. PORK CUTOUT VS. PER CAPITA DOMESTIC DISAPPEARANCE, MAY 43 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution.
  • 44. PORK SUPPLY CHAIN MARGINS • The combined producer + packer margin turned decidedly negative over the past few weeks. • This is an indicator of overall demand since sudden improvements in demand often lead to out-sized margins at the packer level and eventually the producer level. • This indicator was particularly strong during May, confirming what we see in the scatter diagram. • The combined margin is now below zero and could be signaling further demand erosion on the horizon. 44 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution.
  • 45. WEEKLY PORK EXPORTS TO CHINA • The weekly USDA trade data indicates that pork shipments to China have escalated rapidly in recent weeks. • However, this data is somewhat unreliable and often does not correlate well with the official trade data released by ERS. • China banned pork imports from Canada recently after discovering forged documents and ractopamine residue in the product shipped. • More than half of US pork production is accomplished using ractopamine and that product is ineligible to be shipped to China. 45 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution.
  • 46. TOTAL PORK EXPORTS REQUIRE TO JUSTIFY CURRENT FUTURES PRICES • USDA recently released the official carcass- weight export data for May. • Total US pork exports were down about 1%. • Bigger movement to China was more than offset by smaller movement to Mexico. • Mexico tends to be one of the most price- sensitive buyers of US pork. • The weekly trade data suggested that May pork exports would be up 10%, but they were down 1%. This highlights the unreliable nature of the weekly data. 46 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution. +81% -33%
  • 47. • The cutout has struggled recently under the weight of really large production recently. • Daily kills in recent weeks have been in the 470- 480,000 head range. That is more typical for fall than it is in the middle of summer when hog numbers should be tightest. • Domestic demand has been weak lately also, further weighing on the cutout. • Cutout values going forward will be dependent upon how much product moves into export channels. Currently our cutout forecast assumes a 6% YOY increase in pork exports in the second half of the year. 47 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc.

  • 48. JSF LEAN HOG FUTURES MIS-PRICING • After peaking around $102 in early April on ASF fears, lean hog futures have steadily declined. • Still, the deferred futures maintain an “ASF premium” generated by buyers who believe that the ASF outbreak in China will eventually elevate US hog prices greatly. • JSF sees some ASF premium as warranted, but the market has priced in way too much. • This will make forward offers on pork for Q3 and Q4 look really high to buyers and many may forgo booking and remain in the spot market. That is likely to be a winning strategy. 48 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution.

  • 54. EST FI S&H SLAUGHTER • June steer and heifer slaughter was up 1.8% YOY, with fed kills averaging around 535,000 head per week • Our models suggest that kills could be even larger in July, perhaps exceeding 550,000 head per week. • Strong packer profitability is driving the desire to keep kills high. • However, packers may find that in order to keep kills elevated, they may have to bid up the price of cattle to a point where margins suffer. 54 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019. Not for distribution.
  • 55. DETRENDED & DESEASONALIZED STEER CARCASS WEIGHTS • Steer carcass weights are running about 11 pounds below last year, while heifer weights are 3 pounds under last year. • However, carcass weights are not keeping pace with the long run trend and the normal seasonal increase. • The DTDS weights are now down around - 40—near record lows. • This suggests that feedyards are very current in their marketings and that may put them in a position to resist lower packer bids. 55 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S.

  • 56. MONTHLY COMMERICAL BEEF PRODUCTION, 2019 vs. 2018 • Beef production during Q3 is projected to be up at least 6% from last year as large placements from the Feb/Mar/Apr period become market ready. • Non-fed (cow and bull) slaughter will contribute to the YOY increase and is currently projected to be up about 6% in Q3 also. • Q4 is looking to post a smaller increase in beef production, perhaps about 3%, but that is dependent upon the level of placements we see this summer. • For 2019 as a whole, we see beef production up 2.4% from last year. 56 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S.

  • 57. • Domestic beef demand registered fairly strong during May, but appears to have softened considerably in June • Lower pork prices during June may partially explain some of the erosion in beef demand. • The July/Aug period is typically a very weak demand period due to hot weather and a lack of holiday celebrations. • In all, domestic beef demand looks a little weak, but not seriously so. Institutional buying in the second half of July and early August could reverse that trend. 57 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019.

  • 58. BEEF SUPPLY CHAIN MARGINS • The combined margin (packer + feeder) is tracking within the range it has been stuck in for the last couple of years. • This indicator doesn’t yet seem to be pointing to any significant problems with beef demand so far this summer. • Beef packer margins last week were estimated to be over $175 per head while cattle feeding margins were negative by $115 per head. 58 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S.

  • 59. MONTHLY BEEF EXPORTS, 2019 vs. 2018 • On the international front, beef exports in May were very close to last year after tracking well below last year for the first four months of 2019. • Lower beef prices during June and July should allow some modest year-over-year increases in beef exports. • A weakening global economy is a threat to beef exports in the second half of 2019. • JSF’s current forecast has total beef exports for 2019 down 3%, with the risk that they could be down even more if the global economy softens dramatically late in the year. 59 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S.

  • 60. BLENDED BEEF CUTOUT MINUS PORK CUTOUT • Softer pork prices over the past few weeks have made beef less competitive relative to pork. • The beef/pork price spread is now about $20 higher than it was last year. • Both beef and pork prices are projected lower in late July and early August, so this spread might not change much in the near term. • However, retailers are averse to pork features after this spring’s ASF scare and price run up. If that persists, it could weigh on pork prices and hurt beef’s competitive position further. 60 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S. Ferraro & Co. and Retail Ready Foods Inc. All Rights Reserved, 2019.

  • 61. CHOICE CUTOUT • The Choice cutout averaged very close to last year in June, but well below the 2017 peak. • Big production later this summer is likely to push cutout values below year ago and keep them on a downward path until October. • Cattle prices might not follow beef prices lower, given the high level of currentness feedyards are experiencing. That would mean that packer margins shrink as we head into fall. • Current projections have the Choice cutout averaging $213 in 2019, about $1 below last year. 61 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S.

  • 62. JSF LIVE CATTLE FUTURES MIS-PRICING • Aug live cattle futures still look a tad too cheap at current levels. • However, the board looks too optimistic from Oct onward, particularly for the 2020 contracts. • Beef production could be as much as 3% higher in 2020 and a weakening economy could keep 2020 demand soft. At times we may see cattle prices below $100 in 2020. • Overall however, the cattle and beef complex seems to be in pretty good balance currently, unlike the hog and pork markets. 62 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S.

  • 70. HAM PRIMAL • Hams are another key primal to watch because Mexico takes a lot of US hams. • President Trump’s threat to re-impose tariffs on Mexico in June caused Mexican buyers to scramble and drove the ham primal to a peak in early June. • Those tariffs now appear to be off the table, although Trump’s unpredictable nature raises the risk that they will pop up again. • Ham prices in Q3 are expect to be near the levels seen last year, even with larger production. 70 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S.

  • 71. CH. BRISKET PRIMAL • Briskets caught fire this spring and the primal peaked at $230. It has since declined, but is holding above last years levels. • Strong demand for briskets from foodservice operators specializing in BBQ likely explains the brisket’s strong performance this year. • The forecast has briskets moving back closer to last year’s level in Q3, but prices should still be historically strong. 71 |Confidential. © Copyright J.S.
