Fed Cattle Prices Remain Steady

Fed cattle prices have remained fairly steady over the past few weeks.

Brian Perillat is a senior market analyst with Canfax.

"Kind of in that transition between the yearlings getting cleaned up and now waiting on some of the fed calves to come ready over the next month," he said. "Supplies have been pretty manageable but packers have pretty decent inventory and keeping the line around that $160 per hundred weight for fed cattle in western Canada."

Perillat says the 75 cent dollar has been supportive for cattle prices here in Canada.

Video: Making budget friendly pig feed on a small livestock farm

I am going to show you how we save our farm money by making our own pig feed. It's the same process as making our cattle feed just with a slight adjustment to our grinder/ mixer that makes all the difference. We buy all the feed stuff required to make the total mix feed. Run each through the mixer and at the end of the process we have a product that can be consumed by our pigs.

I am the 2nd generation to live on this property after my parents purchased it in 1978. As a child my father hobby farmed pigs for a couple years and ran a vegetable garden. But we were not a farm by any stretch of the imagination. There were however many family dairy farms surrounding us. So naturally I was hooked with farming since I saw my first tractor. As time went on, I worked for a couple of these farms and that only fueled my love of agriculture. In 2019 I was able to move back home as my parents were ready to downsize and I was ready to try my hand at farming. Stacy and logan share the same love of farming as I do. Stacy growing up on her family's dairy farm and logans exposure of farming/tractors at a very young age. We all share this same passion to grow a quality/healthy product to share with our community. Join us on this journey and see where the farm life takes us.
