Western Canadian feeder cattle traded $5-$10 per cwt higher for the week ending May 23, with calves under 600 lb up as much as $15. Alberta packers paid a record C$500 per cwt dressed, and Canadian and US beef production estimates for Q4 2025 were lowered.
Lower beef production estimates and improving feedlot margins support feeder demand and keep prices firm. Limited supplies of quality cattle through the second half of 2025 reinforce the upward pressure.
