[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 711465, member: 8978"] Our calf prices are fairly strong...well at least on steers of the right kind, but our cow prices in Alberta are pretty brutal. Takes a pretty decent cow to bring 33 cents Canadian which would be 30.5 cents USD. The bigger cows (1500 lbs +) bring up to 33 cents, smaller cows less. I guess it doesn't cost anymore to kill the big cow than the small one, sort of thing. I think 600 lb. steers are in that $1.05 range with same weight heifers around 90 cents....Canadian dollars. In USD it would be 97 cents for steers and about 83 cents for heifers. Our feed prices are way up this year due to a pretty tough drought and generally we have higher prices for all our inputs than the US. For example gasoline and deisel in Canada are in the $3.50 USD range for a US gallon. We pay more for barbed wire, posts, eartags, vaccine etc. It is not very pretty. Some cattlemen are hanging in there hoping they will see a turn around...but after seven years of little to no profit...that is getting pretty old. [/QUOTE]
