Direct Sales
Alberta direct cattle sales so far this week have seen light trade develop with dressed sales ranging from $515.00-530.00/cwt delivered, steady to $15.00/cwt lower than the previous week. Light volumes of Western Canadian fed cattle traded South this week with live sales in the mid $320.00s/cwt FOB the feedlot. Most of the cattle that traded are for delivery throughout September. The bright spot of the fed cattle market is Eastern Canada as their prices have remained steady for the past four weeks and packers continue to lift cattle very timely. Dressed sales in Eastern Canada remain at a premium to Alberta.
