The manager of SaskPork says hog prices in Saskatchewan are showing recent declines but are still quite profitable.
Neil Ketilson says markets are volatile.
He says the summer is typically the peak of the market, and prices reached over 200 dollars a hog earlier this month.
He says prices have declined to the 185 dollar an animal range, which is still well above the break-even point of about 155 dollars per hog.
Ketilson says hog prices are cyclical, and move about 30 per-cent during one year, lowest in winter and highest in the summer.
