Event Description

Farm life can be unpredictable, even on the best days - weather, pests, market conditions, relationships, and more recently, COVID-19 can affect not only day-to-day farm management but the future of the operation altogether. But, with risk, also comes opportunity for those who are positioned to take calculated risks. This is why it's important to plan for risk.

Farm Management Canada invites farmers to attend the Roots to Success Risk Management virtual training session to increase their ability to assess and address risks using a comprehensive approach to managing risk on the farm.

The training session will allow you to:

  • Gain knowledge, tools and resources to make better business decisions
  • Share best practices and lessons learned with other producers
  • Begin to create a comprehensive risk management plan tailored to your farm

Canfax Weekly Article | Report for the week of September 21, 2026

The Canfax average fed steer and heifer price closed around $292/cwt live, $2.50/cwt lower than the previous week. Fed cattle prices are at the lowest point since December 2025. Light trade was reported last week with dressed sales ranging from $486.50–$489.50/cwt FOB the feedlot. Cattle that traded were scheduled anywhere from early October to early November delivery. Western Canadian steer carcass weights have steadily increased this summer and are 2 pounds shy of their highs set back in January.

Despite the decline, cattle and calves on feed for the slaughter market in feedlots with a capacity of 1,000 head or more totalled 11.2 million head as of September 1, up one per cent from a year earlier. August placements totalled 1.62 million head, down nine per cent from the previous year. Net placements were reported at 1.57 million head. USDA data shows it was the lowest August placement total since the series began in 1996. The report was largely in line with pre-report trade expectations, which anticipated lower placements and marketings alongside slightly higher on-feed inventories. Marketings during August totaled 1.52 million head, down three per cent from the same month last year. It was also the lowest August marketing total since 1996. Other disappearance totaled
