Canadian feedlots stock cattle in abundance this season
The Council of Canadian Beef Producers Western Section notes feedlots across Canada stock more cattle and use more feed, promising a sizable cut in the usable feed grain surplus on western farms. In 1954 stocker and feeder cattle shipments from public stockyards rose over 19 percent from the prior year, with Alberta Saskatchewan and Manitoba seeing the largest increases. Prospects for orderly delivery of finished cattle in early 1955 rise as feeding expands, while uncertainty over the U S market may cause erratic Canadian deliveries and weaker prices.
