# Alberta Cattle Need More Feed Grain; Council Encourages U.S. Corn, DDGS Use - U.S. Grains & BioProducts Council

> The U.S. Grains Council held 21 meetings with buyers and cattle feeders in Alberta, representing about one million head, promoting U.S. corn and DDGS. Drought on the Canadian prairie has cut harvest yields and pushed yearling cattle into feedlots earlier. Buyers are seeking a reliable supply of U.S. feed grains.

## Why it matters

Lower Canadian feed grain supplies raise import demand for U.S. corn and DDGS, which supports US export prices. Competition from other feed ingredients still limits how much this demand can lift values.
