# Feedgrain Focus: Cottonseed out, south slow on volume - Grain Central

> Cottonseed is leaving feedlot rations in northern Australia, where harvest is nearly finished, because it has become expensive relative to canola meal and contracts are hard to execute. Buyers are switching to full canola meal, while delivered cottonseed has climbed to $580-$600/t. Southern barley is being accumulated ahead of new crop.

## Why it matters

Lower feedlot demand for cottonseed meal weakens its price support, while canola meal gains share as the preferred feed protein. Price effects are modest for now.
