Futures market making gains

Forward hog contract prices opened the week sharply higher.

Tyler Fulton is director of risk management with Hams Marketing Services.

"We're seeing the futures market make some gains. We're not quite back to the highs that we saw two to three weeks ago. We're kind of bounced off of the lows that were made last week and still represent very good value...I think the expectation is that we are going to be looking at fairly tight supplies and still rock solid demand going into the summer grilling season."

Fulton says cash prices are holding firm as well.
