Canadian Cattle Herd Numbers Remain Steady

Canadian Cattle Herd Numbers Remain Steady
 
Growth in the Canadian cattle herd continues to remain flat, as was indicated in the July 1 inventory report.
 
Brian Perillat is the manager and senior analyst at CanFax.
 
"If we look at the Canadian beef industry or the herd size, not a lot of change there. Our cow numbers have been flat for a good five to almost seven years. They did show a slight uptick, but less than half a per cent. Basically we're seeing a fairly stable Canadian herd."

In this episode, we’ll talk about why feed testing matters, how to do it properly, and how to make sense of the lab results.
