Western Canadian feeder cattle traded $10 to $15/cwt higher in the week ending March 14, recovering from tariff-related weakness on March 4 to 6. Many operations moved cattle to US custom feedlots to avoid tariffs, and those tariffs were then removed until April 2.
Prices for grassers and calves were near record highs.
Tariff relief and tight feeder supplies support Canadian feeder prices, while the temporary tariff pause could return as a risk if it lapses.
