Study Compares Steers and Heifers in Carcass Value Evidence
Records from multiple regions show steers generally yield slightly higher carcass values than heifers but the difference is small and often reversed by individual variation. Wastage data and high cut percentages are limited, with trends matching dressing percentages. The department seeks more cutting records to clarify meat value relationships. Clandeboye 4-H Dairy Club tops Pioneer Feeds Trophy for highest scoring club in the province, led by E L Bracken, with several members earning honors and duties.

Farm News Shows Steer Heifer Price Spread Varies by Market

Eight years of data from Montreal Toronto Winnipeg and Calgary show Toronto has the smallest spread while Montreal the largest, Calgary and Winnipeg intermediate. Spreads peak in late fall and early winter when more heifers enter markets. Lower heifer prices stem from smaller dressing percentages, more waste in cutting heifer carcasses, and fewer heifer portions entering higher priced retail cuts.
