That year, Canadian farmers sold thousands of extra cattle in the fall to make up for a shortage in feed due to the impacts of extreme weather, said Stuart Smyth, associate professor in the College of Agriculture and Bioresources at the University of Saskatchewan.When Canada runs low on corn or feed it imports from the U.S., and it did so in large numbers that year, said Dennis Laycraft, executive vice-president of the Canadian Cattle Association.
While this means more beef is being produced in the short term in both Canada and the U.S., it means supply will eventually go down as herds get smaller, and farmers will send fewer cattle to slaughter while they try to rebuild their herds, he explained.Article content But because of inflation and continued high demand for beef, farmers are still seeing elevated prices for their cattle, further incentivizing them to reduce their herds, said Sobool.That’s likely to remain the case, and could affect prices along the supply chain all the way to retail, he said.
