Direct Sales
Alberta direct cattle sales on Wednesday saw no new trade to report but there is a good chance scattered trade will develop by this afternoon. Packers will likely be pulling hard on July contract cattle. From a seasonal perspective the fed market is fighting an uphill battle. In Seven out of the past ten years fed prices have declined from June to July. This week feeder sales have been limited with many commercial auction facilities across Alberta and Saskatchewan taking the week off.

US Trade
In the US, light trade was reported in all major feeding states yesterday. Dressed sales in Iowa and Nebraska were at $403.00/cwt, $5.00/cwt lower than the previous week. Live sales in the North were from $255.00-256.00/cwt, $3.00-4.00/cwt lower than the previous week. Sales in Texas and Kansas were at $255.00/cwt, $3.00/cwt softer. Today live bids of $255.00/cwt have been renewed in the Southern feeding states and cattle are trading. USDA released its quarterly hogs and pigs report last week. On June 1st total hogs and pigs were reported at 73.7 million head, down slightly from the previous year. The hog industry has been profitable, yet expansion remains limited. The US sow herd declined 1% and is the smallest since 2014. Gains in pigs saved per litter has offset declining sow inventories. On top of that, hog carcass weights have steadily increased helping to maintain production.
