Best Answer

The CME Group specifications for their Lean Hogs futures specifies hog carcasses. At auction, hogs are sold by live weight - and because it's well known the average percentage of a live hog that becomes the various parts of a carcass, they can set the price at auction with reasonable certainty they'll get their money back.
