Direct Sales
Alberta direct cattle sales so far this week have seen light trade develop with dressed sales ranging from $595.00-600.00/cwt delivered, $5.00-8.00/cwt higher than the previous week. Cattle that traded would be picked up in two weeks. US buying interest was quiet on the Western Canadian fed market but cattle from Eastern Canada were being marketed South. YTD Western Canadian fed slaughter is down 2% or 14,000 head compared to last year. The year over year decline has solely been driven by fewer heifers entering the slaughter mix. Western Canadian heifer slaughter is 7% lower compared to last year.

In the US, light trade was reported in in Iowa yesterday with dressed sales at $408.00/cwt, steady with last week. Today live bids of $255.00/cwt have been renewed in all major feeding states but selling interest remains limited. Bids are $3.00-5.00/cwt lower than last week. Packers have bought very few cattle and buying interest will improve over the next couple of hours. Looking at the feeder market, the US feeder index closed around $6.00/cwt higher, setting new record highs.
