Alberta Market Hog Settlement Data

As part of Alberta Pork’s commitment to create a trusted and competitive industry through market transparency and collaboration, we are pleased to announce the publication of Alberta Market Hog Settlement Data starting on May 21, 2025. The weekly Alberta Market Hog Settlement Data will be published in the Alberta Pork Weekly Report and posted on the Alberta Pork website. Publication of the Alberta Market Hog Settlement Data is an important step for industry, reflective of the collaboration between Alberta Pork and federally inspected processors receiving Alberta hogs across Western Canada. Reaching this point of publication has taken the dedicated efforts of many but most notably Minister Nate Horner who, during his time as the agriculture minister, worked with industry to garner the support for and shepherd the regulatory amendments, as well as Minister RJ Sigurdson and his staff for helping with the requirements allowing for the collection of the Alberta Market Hog Settlement Dat

Anthrax confirmed in cattle in R.M. of Paynton

The province is urging producers to remain vigilant after anthrax was confirmed in cattle in the Rural Municipality (R.M.) of Paynton No. 470, located about 64 kilometres northwest of North Battleford. In a statement issued Wednesday, Saskatchewan Agriculture says lab results received on May 13 confirmed the fatal case in livestock, marking the latest instance of the disease caused by the Bacillus anthracis bacterium. The bacteria’s spores can survive in soil for decades and may surface due to changes in moisture, such as flooding, drying, excavation or excessive runoff. Animals are typically infected when they consume contaminated forage. “Ruminants such as cattle, bison, sheep and goats are highly susceptible, and horses can also be infected,” the province said. “Swine, birds and carnivores are more resistant to infection, but farm dogs and cats should be kept away from carcasses.” Infected animals are often found dead without prior signs of illness. The province recommends annu

Kansas Yield Improvement Helps Boost US Winter Wheat Production

Top producer Kansas is expected to help lead the charge as a higher average national yield is forecast to lead to bigger American winter wheat production this year. In its first survey-based winter wheat estimates released earlier this week, the USDA pegged the 2025 average US winter wheat yield at 53.7 bu/acre, up 2 bu from a year earlier. If accurate, it would be the second highest on record, trailing only 55.3 bu in 2016. The higher average yield more than offsets an expected 1.5% fall in harvested area to 25.71 million acres, with production forecast to rise 2% to 1.381 billion. If accurate, it would be the largest American winter wheat crop since 2016 at 1.672 billion. Kansas winter wheat harvested area is forecast lower as well – down about 3.5% on the year to 6.9 million acres – but this year’s average yield in the state is projected 7 bu higher at 50 bu/acre, the highest since 2010 at 52 bu. With the higher yield, Kansas winter wheat output this year is pegged at 345 millio

Cattle Market Update: No feeder cattle prices amid seasonal decline of cattle marketing’s

There were no prices available for the feeder steer and feeder heifer weight categories in the weekly Cattle Market Update for the week ending May 9. This comes after several weeks of steady price increases for all steer & heifer weight categories and setting records in the process. Livestock Intern at the Ministry of Agriculture Emily Schmidt cited low market volumes, in the midst of a seasonal decline as producers prepare to send cattle out to pasture, as the reason for the lack of data. “We’re a bit ahead of last year in this decline with the dry conditions getting more areas of the province in the field quicker than in previous years. We will likely continue to see volumes stay low and decline through the rest of spring.” Schmidt added. There were 2,659 head of Saskatchewan feeder cattle sold at auction last week, according to Canfax, and its well below the 10,904 head marketed the week ending May 2. It’s also below the volume of cattle sold the same week last year when 4,509 h
