Forward Hog Prices Resilient

Forward hog contract prices have been holding relatively steady.
 
That according to Tyler Fulton with Hams Marketing Services.
 
"Forward contract prices have been generally under a little bit of pressure but compared to the broader market context, hog forward prices have been very resilient," he said. "When we look at what kind of declines we saw in cattle markets or in equities or for that matter other commodities like oil, hogs have been a rock, really, to put it bluntly."
 
Fulton says cash prices are still struggling, relating to the broader uncertainty associated with the coronavirus.

Treating Sheep For Lice!

Video: Treating Sheep For Lice!

We are treating our sheep for lice today at Ewetopia Farms. The ewes and rams have been rubbing and scratching, plus their wool is looking patchy and ragged. Itchy sheep are usually sheep with lice. So, we ran the Suffolk and Dorset breeding groups through the chutes and treated them all. This treatment will have to be done again in two weeks to make sure any eggs that hatched are destroyed too. There was a lot of moving of sheep from pen to pen around the sheep barn but by all the hopping and skipping the sheep were doing, I think they enjoyed the day immensely! We hope you do too!
