Prairie forecast: Warm and dry for the long weekend

Forecast issued August 27, covering Aug. 27 to Sept. 3, 2025

This forecast period is looking straightforward as surface high pressure and upper-level ridging looks to dominate the forecast. This should bring what looks to be an extended period of sunny skies and warm to hot temperatures.

Klassen: Feeder market in price discovery mode

For the week ending August 2, Western Canadian feeder cattle markets traded steady to as much as $10 higher. Quality yearling packages off grass were up as much as $15 in some cases. Prices for similar weight cattle were quite variable across the Prairies, which made the market hard to define.  The market appears to be in price discovery mode for the grass yearling market.
