Direct Sales

With the futures market rallying this week many were expecting stronger cash prices, however, that was not the case as Canadian fed prices were steady to slightly lower. Dressed sales in Western Canada were from $495.00-500.00/cwt delivered, steady to $1.00/cwt lower than last week. Most of the cattle that traded were being scheduled for delivery throughout the most of August. Many producers have indicated a large percentage of their cattle are contracted. Most if not all the cattle being delivered are at a discount compared to the current cash market.

US Trade

In the U.S, light trade was reported in the Northern feeding states yesterday. Dressed sales were reported from $370.00-372.00/cwt, steady to $2.00/cwt higher than last week. Live sales in Nebraska were at $232.00/cwt, $0.50/cwt higher than last week’s weighted average price. Today the market tone is significantly higher. Live bids in Nebraska have been reported up to $240.00/cwt. Today bids in Texas and Kansas have been reported from $228.00-230.00/cwt, bids are $4.00-6.00/cwt higher. Fed cattle prices are not to far off record high levels. The Mexican feeder cattle import situation has been a moving target. The US has once again closed their boarders to Mexican feeder cattle. Meaning the one port in Douglas Arizona is now closed for the time being.
