Changes constantly but alot of times its lower in the summer months due to death loss because of heat. His name is Kim Rife if you want to look him up and call and ask. Cant find his card now and broke my phone and lost his number, but I will keep looking.

the heat has nothing to do with prices. if he's a buyer for beltex or southern they tell him what to pay. when they start getting too many pigs and cant keep up with slaughtering they lower prices. another big factor is europes economy is not so well and they are the biggest buyers of wild boar meat from both slaughter houses.

Kim is one of most interesting guys I have met, used to stop by his place on the too and from Lubbock when I was in school. He swears that he can catch anything with a snare, even told me about trappin lions!

I know that Frontier is Beltex...

Just call up there and find out which days they will buy your pigs. Since they rotate what they slaughter they won't buy them all the time!!
