Western Cattle Feeding Expands as Rail Rates Drop
Grain fed cattle move from Winnipeg stock yards showing winter gains. Western farmers increased winter feeding, aided by rail rate cuts to half for feeder cattle and a no charge policy from May. Cattle bought at four to four and a half cents a pound resell at six and seven cents with weight gains averaging two hundred pounds. Cattle head east to packing plants and Ontario for further feeding, with CN Rail running a daily through cattle train from Winnipeg to the east to speed delivery and minimize shrinkage.
