I currently do not see any interesting trades in the meats with the exception of selling options (see thread "Diversified Option Selling Portfolio").

They also mentioned the following "free" KSU monthly report
Focus on Feedlots was created in 1990 at Kansas State University to provide basic feedlot performance data for steers and heifers, and feed ingredient prices. Each month, closeout data from various Kansas feedlots are summarized to provide average values for days on feed, average daily gain, harvest weight, dry matter feed conversion, cost of gain, and death loss, as well as corn and alfalfa hay prices. The Monthly Reports are available as Adobe PDF files. An Excel spreadsheet of the data is available upon request. Links to individual tables of each year's data (Yearly Data tables), charts for the four most recent years (Yearly Charts), and charts for three-year averages since 1990 (Three-year Average Charts) are located on this web page.
I did check and can't see that these sources haven't been mentioned anywhere in this thread yet. I can't claim credit though because I'm sure somebody else at futures.io told me about it. (Maybe @myrrdin in his diversified options thread.)
I do not like trading the May and July contracts in the hogs, as they are extremely thinly traded. Sometimes - for this reason - they show strange moves.
