Feed barley prices in Western Canada climbed through spring, with Lethbridge feedlots buying at $325-330 per tonne delivered in late May. Substitute feed grains such as imported U.S. corn and feed wheat also traded higher.
Canadian barley exports were running well ahead of last year, with strong movement to China and Japan.
Export demand and tight ending stocks are pulling barley supplies out of feeding regions, so feed barley must trade above corn and wheat to stay competitive. Western Canadian feedlots face sustained high feed costs into 2026-27.
