Provincial composites, feeder cattle ($/cwt)

SBW = SaleBarn West composite (the small number is how many auction markets went into it; hover for the range). Off. = the official provincial composite. The SaleBarn composite is a plain average of each auction market's latest reported price (the auction market's average if it gives one, otherwise the middle of its low-high range). It is not weighted by head count. Official composites are shown next to it as published.
