Cattle Prices On The Rebound

 
Cattle prices have had a good run so far in 2017.
 
Brian Perillat is a manager and senior market analyst with CanFax.
 
"2016 was a really rough ride and hit some major lows in October and basically ever since then it's rallied pretty consistently here," he said. "We've seen prices rise over 30 per cent over that time. Especially in this last month or event the last couple of weeks we've seen some of the biggest increases in cattle prices ever in terms of week over week."

Selling Rams & Helping New Farmers Begin

Video: Selling Rams & Helping New Farmers Begin

It’s shipping day again at Ewetopia Farms as we sell another Suffolk yearling ram! In today’s episode, we load one of our Suffolk rams onto the trailer as he heads off to his new farm to sire the next generation of lambs.

This particular customer has been buying our rams for over eight years, trusting Ewetopia genetics for their gentle temperaments, strong builds, and proven performance. Back home, we get busy looking after the flock that’s staying behind. With the weather turning wet and chilly, it’s time to put down fresh, clean bedding to keep everyone cozy and comfortable for the season ahead. Later, we welcome a wonderful new family who’s just starting out in sheep farming!

They’ve chosen some of our Suffolk ewe lambs to begin their flock — and we couldn’t be happier to help them take their first steps into raising sheep. Stay tuned for a follow-up episode when we help deliver and settle their new flock at their farm.
