The Western Producer reports that lingering Prairie drought is pushing cow-calf producers to rely more on stored feed and byproducts such as DDGS, oat hulls and grain screenings. Producers are investing in mixing equipment such as TMR mixers to make these byproducts palatable.
Higher byproduct use in Canadian beef herds adds steady demand for DDGS and other fibre feeds, supporting local prices while drought keeps forage supply tight. The effect on broader commodity prices is limited.
