Pulse Weekly: Manitoba beans, peas in good shape
Keeping on crop development over next few weeks
Prairie forecast: Looking warm and dry for Canada Day
Forecast issued June 25, covering June 25 to July 2, 2025
A broad but unorganized area of low pressure impacts all three Prairie provinces for at least the first half of this forecast period. Unsettled weather means it will be a difficult forecast to pin down. It also means seasonable temperatures with no big intense heat waves expected—though that doesn’t mean we won’t see a few hot days.
Klassen: Feeder market rally stalls on softer fed cattle market
For the week ending June 21, Western Canadian feeder cattle prices were unchanged to $10 lower on average compared to seven days earlier. However, prices for August and September delivery were unchanged from the previous week.
Prairie forecast: Unsettled weather ahead
Forecast issued June 18, covering June 18 to 25, 2025
For this forecast period we start, once again, with no strong systems impacting the Prairies. But, as we head into the weekend a strong area of low pressure is forecasted to develop over the western U.S. This low will impact our region over the weekend, but how and where is a little uncertain.
Varied rains leave parts of Manitoba in need of moisture: report

Manitoba crops 99 per cent planted
Five points ahead of average

Prairie forecast: Where did the summer heat go?
Forecast issued June 11, covering June 11 to 18, 2025
Looking at the big picture we start this forecast period with a generally zonal flow across the Prairies as Arctic high pressure slides across the far northern Prairies and weak low pressure moves by to the south. This will bring sunny to partly cloudy skies and near to slightly below-average temperatures.
Klassen: Stronger fed cattle markets lifts feeder complex
For the week ending June 7, Western Canadian feeder cattle markets traded steady to as much as $15/cwt higher in some cases. Larger packages of quality replacements over 900 pounds were up $10-$15/cwt from prices seven days earlier.
Prairie forecast: Summer pattern making forecast difficult
Forecast issued June 4, covering June 4-11, 2025
We start this forecast period off with an area of low pressure over far northern Manitoba that is slowly moving off into Hudson Bay. To the west, an area of low pressure is developing over the Yukon which is helping to develop a weak ridge of high pressure over Alberta. Over southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba weak high pressure is in place.
