Canadian fed cattle prices weakened in Alberta, with weighted average steer prices reaching annual lows in the low C$290s per hundredweight and dressed sales reported at C$490. Feeder steer and heifer prices fell C$8 and C$10 per hundredweight, respectively, while lightweight calves dropped C$10–C$30; auction volumes were also below last year and the five-year average.
Well-covered packers and lower US fed-cattle prices limited competition for Canadian cattle, while uncertainty and seasonal weakness weighed on feeder demand. The reported declines point to near-term pressure on Canadian live- and feeder-cattle prices.
