Beef Shortage Pushes Winnipeg Market Prices Higher
A Winnipeg stockyards spokesman says a shortage of better quality beef and lower marketing volume have driven prices up. Choice steers sold for 31.50 to 32.50 per hundred pounds, with good cows at 24.50 to 22.50. Stores saw sirloin steaks at 1.55 to 1.59 per pound, up seven cents in three weeks, while Calgary and Toronto showed higher regional prices. Overall Canadian cattle marketing is up about 5,000 head despite Winnipeg’s decline.
