Скачать или смотреть Beef Market Update: Cattle markets keep soaring — will they ever drop?

It’s another record-setting week for the cattle market as RealAg Radio host Shaun Haney checks in with Anne Wasko of the Gateway Livestock Exchange for this Beef Market Update. As both U.S. and Canadian markets post new highs, attention turns to placements, packer margins, and the long-term outlook for herd rebuilding on both sides of the border.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this week’s update:

U.S. cash trade moves higher: Texas and Kansas up to $241–242/cwt, while northern trade holds steady near $245
Cutout values surge ahead of Labour Day: Choice closed at $314.40/cwt—up $6.50 from last week, with rib, chuck, and lean trim leading the gains
U.S. cattle on feed numbers drop: August report shows a 2% year-over-year decline, with placements and marketings each down 6%
Canadian fed prices hit new highs: Alberta dressed cattle trade up to $510–520/cwt; Ontario climbs to $535/cwt
StatsCan reports modest heifer retention: Beef heifer replacements up 2% year-over-year, with flat to slight beef cow increases across provinces
Weather and profitability both play roles: Dry conditions and strong prices create mixed signals on herd expansion
Feedyards face tough decisions: Margins remain tight with high input costs, a weak Canadian dollar, and uncertain returns
