The Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association is calling on the federal and provincial governments for a cattle and beef pricing investigation.

Stock Growers president Garner Deobald of Hodgeville says ranchers and feedlots are operating at a loss while packers and retailers are making huge profits.

Deobald warns of significant downsizing of cattle numbers across Canada because of low prices.

He wants a government investigation into pricing of cattle and beef on the store shelf.
