Canadian Cattle Buyer Testimonials
Here's what some of our subscribers have to say about the Canadian Cattle Buyer...

Garnet Altwasser - President Lakeside Packers
"He’s got a good perception of the business, and understands the business well.  I like the comparison he makes to the total North American market."

"It’s a well written report, and it’s timely.  He’s got good up to date information there."

Stewart Cressman  - Crystal Brook Farms
"Number one, up to date information on market trends.  I think he’s got one of the best handles on what’s happening at the packer level, and follows the basis against Chicago - looks at the Alberta and Ontario situation.  I think those are all areas that he is extremely well informed in."

"I’m a feedlot operator.  I guess what I’m trying to do is to understand what’s happened in the past, and at the current and try to anticipate the outlook.  I’m always interested in looking at what his outlook is for each quarter and add that information to the information from DTN and hearing his comments on DTN.

"I think he also looks at margins at the packing level and that’s some information that we don’t get, I think, from any another source in Canada.  Where you have a handle at looking at what by products, what they’re selling the carcasses for, whether they’re experiencing red ink or making good margins and what impact it will have on our basis on cattle."

"I usually try to keep them on inventory so that you can go back.  There are some issues that will handle at least five or six months and then you can go back and refer to some of the stuff he had in previous newsletters."

"I would certainly recommend it to beef producers who are following the market and trying to understand what’s going on with our Canadian market."

Bob Kerr - Kerr Farms, Chatham
"It gives me a window on some information; helps me keep my finger on the pulse of the cattle industry."

"It’s information that if I didn’t get it from the Canadian Cattle Buyer I wouldn’t know where to get it, probably wouldn’t get it at all."

"The information helps me maintain a perspective on the industry, where we are at in the cattle cycle, and an idea of what is happening next."

Tony Saretsky - Canriex Livestock International
"I subscribe to get a Canadian perspective on the market as well as to support their organization because there are no Canadian sources of the type of things they are doing."

"What I like are the different reports from different angles to the information.  I enjoy that."

"I’ve recommended it to quite a number of people, and I know quite of number of people have subscribed, particularly in the cattle feeding business, and in the cattle marketing business."

Pat Fisher - Cattleland Feedyards
"He provides some good details on some peripheral activities as far as assessing the market situation and the beef movement and comparisons on the North American continent as to what’s really happening in various departments.”

"I think he does report a certain amount of information where he spends some time researching it and analyzing it versus what is readily available through either magazines or papers."
