# Wheat Prices Climbed Again in September — but Cattle and Hog Prices Slid Across Canada

> Statistics Canada reported that Prairie wheat prices (excluding durum) rose for a fourth consecutive month in September and were up 15% to 20% year over year. Slaughter cattle and hog prices fell in every province over the same month, while canola prices dipped across the western provinces with the new harvest but stayed above last year.

## Why it matters

Higher Canadian wheat prices raise the cost of wheat-based feed ingredients, while lower cattle and hog prices signal weaker livestock margins that may reduce feed demand. Canola prices remain supported by biofuel demand.
