Another season of early calf marketings – this time from southern Alberta – appears to have evened out feeder supplies somewhat. Prices have remained above the $1.50 per pound mark, even with the big jump in US feeder cattle imports (up 57% to the end of October), and appear to be steadying, with some upside heading into the winter months.

There are still lots of questions about where all the heifers will end up – on feed or on grass? If feedlot placements and herd re-building take a big enough bite, the market for grass-type cattle this spring could test some of the summer calf price peaks.
