Sask feeder cattle prices reflect a downward trend

Saskatchewan feeder cattle prices were mainly lower during the past week.

The average weekly steer price was $214.54 per hundredweight.

Feeder heifers were mixed but mainly lower.

The weekly average feeder heifer price was $190.78 per hundredweight in Saskatchewan.

Acting provincial cattle specialist Natasha Wilkie says feed grains continue to push upward, rising 5 percent last week, and pressuring feeder cattle prices.

But she says there are factors which should increase demand for feeders south of the border.
