Direct Sales
Alberta direct cattle sales last week saw light trade develop with weighted average steer and heifer price closing the week around $294.50/cwt FOB feedlot, $4.50/cwt lower than the previous week. From their highs in September fed prices have declined $22.00/cwt. Last week US packer interest was noted, and light volumes of Western Canadian fed were marketed South. Last week butcher cows traded $2.00-3.00/cwt lower through commercial auction facilities. Even though cow prices were lower feeder cow and speculative buying interest has been supportive. The market is currently in the process of working through peak numbers. The market should bottom over the next 30 days.
