# Feeder market recovers from tariff discounts

> 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.
