Schedule of Future Hog Procurement and Contract Hog Growers Obligations [Table Text Block]

We have purchase commitments with certain livestock producers that obligate us to purchase all the livestock that these producers deliver. Other arrangements obligate us to purchase a fixed amount of livestock. We also use independent farmers and their facilities to raise hogs produced from our breeding stock in exchange for a performance-based service fee payable upon delivery. We estimate the future obligations under these commitments based on available commodity livestock futures prices and internal projections about future hog prices, expected quantities delivered and anticipated performance. Our estimated future obligations under these commitments are as follows:

Year	(in millions)
2015	$	1,524.3
2016	1,245.3
2017	1,090.3
2018	963.4
2019	926.2
