The current volatility on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange is a strong indicator of uncertain calf prices this fall, says Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp., which administers the Western Livestock Price Insurance pilot program in the province.
May 31 was the last day to buy calf policies for the coming fall in all four western provinces. Policies for feeder and finished cattle and hogs can be bought year-round.
