By Terry Fries November 9, 2018

Ontario and Quebec interest continues to buoy prices at Manitoba cattle auctions. “Pound for pound, on the good end of the calves, we’re probably still $5 to $7 per hundredweight better than they (Alberta) are,” said Rick Wright of Heartland Order Buying Co.

Wet weather supportive for Manitoba’s cattle markets

A weaker loonie and higher pork prices haven’t hurt, either

By Ashley Robinson - MarketsFarm October 5, 2018

Wet weather is holding producers back from rushing to sell their cattle in Western Canada, according to an analyst. “Volumes are a decent size, but they’re not burdensome by any means. (They’re) maybe slowed down a little bit by the weather and guys maybe reassessing if things are going to green up. It just takes

Klassen: Feeder market jumps on optimistic outlook

By GFM Network News, Jerry Klassen July 23, 2018

Western Canadian yearling prices were slightly softer during the second week of July, due to the historical high weekly marketings of feeder cattle south of the border; however, the market fully recovered last week.

By GFM Network News, Jerry Klassen July 16, 2018

Compared to last week, feeder cattle prices were down $3 to as much as $6 across all weight categories.

Western Canadian yearling prices were relatively unchanged from week-ago levels; however, feeder cattle fit for grass and calves dropped $4 to as much as $10 from seven days earlier.

By Ashley Robinson - MarketsFarm March 16, 2018

The late-winter snowstorm which hit Western Canada the first weekend in March caused auction marts across Manitoba to cancel sales. “I don’t think anybody sold anything until (Thursday).
