in the meantime Smithfield has a LOT of live hogs they have to do something with.)

Like keep alive until someone can slaughter them?

This is why I B Dumbass is ducking simple questions. The stupid fricker wants you to think they will just kill them and bury them in a pit. When Seaboard has a bright shiny new state of the art plant 90 Miles to the South.

short window as they will get too big.

They will sell them to anyone that has capacity to slaughter. The Chinese are huge importers of US pork right now. The problem will come in a few weeks when there are no pigs on their farms.

Hopefully they can get their plant open in a week or so and keep the supply going.
