Canada’s cattle herd is 27.4 percent smaller than the peak registered in 2005; hog and sheep numbers are also down
The Canadian cattle herd shows no signs of growing, nor do the hog and sheep sectors.
Statistics Canada released its inventory report last week showing numbers as of July 1, 2019, and indicating continued domestic cattle herd decline that has been ongoing since 2005.
The national cattle herd shrunk 1.3 percent from July 2018, to 12.3 million animals. That’s 27.4 percent below the peak reported in July 2005.
