Rail price drop puts pressure on prices The market at Brussels Stock- yards on Jan. 3 traded under pressure following the drop in rail prices from three to five cents per lb. being accepted on cattle for delivery next week. Cows and pigs sold higher. There were 1391 cattle and 713 pigs on offer. Choice Handy-weight steers sold from $84. to $88. with a sale to The Board of Directors of the Ontario Cattlemen's Association has endorsed a proposal developed by the joint industry Task Force for a comprehensive cattle market information program. The pro- posal was developed by a Sub- committee of the Task Force during the past year. The Task Force which has on it representatives from the Ontario Cattlemen's Association, the On- tario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, the Ontario Livestock Auc- tion Markets Association, the Meat Packers Council and the Ontario Freezer Meat Association was put into place in early 1985 through a joint agreement between the Association and the Hon. Dennis Timbrell, then Minister of Agriculture and Food. Edgar Wideman, Chairman of the Task Force Subcommittee and a vice-president of the Association stated "Buying and selling deci- sions are the most important decisions cattlemen make. The most common demand we hear from cattlemen, is for more accurate and timely information on which to make these decisions." The proposal has a goal of capturing information on 80 per- cent of cattle transactions in the province with regional representa- tion. The proposal will extend the program began in early 1985 of collecting and reporting prices on private treaty sales to packers and will move into the electronic age by capturing cattle prices and trade volumes from computer account- ing systems in major livestock auction markets in the province. An incentive using funds from the Red Meat Program is being proposed to encourage livestock auction market operators to install computer equipment to conduct sale invoicing. The market infor- mation component will be extract- ed from the computer data and transmitted to the Ontario Cattle- men's Association. A new market information division of the Assoc- iation will be created to compile the information into standard format and co-operate with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food and Agriculture Canada in distri- bution. The Board of Directors of the Ontario Cattlemen's Association has endorsed Canada's undertak- ing to conduct negotiations with the United States aimed at esta- blishing a bilateral trade agree- ment. It is also their view that the red meat industry should be a part of those negotiations. During the past six years, Canada's net merchandise trade surplus has increased from a balance of zero to over $15 billion. Twenty percent of gross national production or one job in five is accounted for by exports to the $92.75. Choice heavy steers were $81. to $85. A steer consigned by Lorne Eadie of RR 1, Holyrood weighing 1270 lbs. sold for $92.75 with their lot of 15 steers averaging 1422 lbs. selling for $82.17. Six steers consigned by Grant Collins of RR 1, Kincardine averaging 1173 lbs. sold for $88. with his offering of 26 United States. The United States market accounts for 75% in value of all exports from Canada. While Canada has a net deficit in trade of agricultural products with the Untied States, the red meat industry in Canada accounts for approximately 50 percent in value of all agricultural exports to the United States. During the last five years, red meat exports from Canada to the United States have increased to represent, in 1984, 20 percent of farm cash receipts from the red meat sector. Gerhard Schickedanz, President of the Ontario Canttlemen's Asso- ciation stated, "Our goal in bilateral trade negotiations with the Untied States must be to secure the market penetration which has already been gained. Failure to do so through a fair trading bilateral agreement exposes, not only your industry but any export oriented industry, to continuing risk and uncertainty. steers averaging 1179 lbs. selling for an overall price of $87.21.
