Direct Sales
Alberta direct cattle sales on Wednesday saw light trade develop with dressed sales reported at mostly $550.00/cwt delivered, $15.00-25.00/cwt lower than the previous week. Competition on the cash market has been limited. In some instances, packers are limiting the amount of cattle they are buying from each producer, and in other cases packers are not bidding on cattle. With prices under pressure and lift times stretching out, a little bit of panic has settled in as producers are scrambling to book hook spots. US packer interest has been noted but there is little if any price incentive to market cattle South.
