A major fire on Sunday destroyed a large hog barn in Saskatchewan.
 
The barn owned by Olymel was in the Sturgis area.

Casey Smit, Olymel's Vice-President of Production says no employees were injured, however they lost about 10,000 pigs in the fire.

"It's part of a production flow so there would have been young pigs and older pigs throughout the barn."

A second barn and a feed mill about half a kilometre away were not damaged.

Fire inspectors were on the scene yesterday to try and determine the cause of the blaze.
