Livestock Prices Aligning With Last Year's Numbers

December's year-over-year price comparisons for livestock aren't quite as dramatic as they were a month earlier.

Statistics Canada reports hog prices for the month were nearly caught up on 2015, down just a single per cent on the year.

Cattle prices were down 14 points, while lamb producers saw an up-tick of 8.2 per cent.

StatsCan notes chickens and turkeys both saw slight losses.

Chickens averaged $2.00 a kilo, down 3.9 per cent.

Turkeys prices dropped 3.6 per cent to an average of $2.18.

The agency's crop numbers for December show a 21 per cent year-over-year decline in wheat prices and a 1.4 per cent dip in corn prices.

Soybeans, on the other hand, picked up 66 dollars a tonne, a gain of 15 and a half per cent.
