Direct Sales
Alberta direct cattle sales on Monday saw no new trade to report. This weeks showlist has been compiled with volumes smaller than the previous week. Last week on a cash-to-cash basis Alberta fed price were at a $2.00/cwt premium against the US market. The strongest basis since the spring of 2024. Given historically strong basis levels US packer interest on the Western Canadian fed cash market will be limited. Over the past three weeks Western Canadian heifer slaughter volumes have been running from 7,000-8,500 head per week, some of the smallest heifer slaughter volumes over the past five years. Over those three weeks heifer slaughter is down 55% compared to last year.

US Trade
In the US, there is no new trade to report, and significant trade will likely be delayed until the second half of this week. Asking prices are poorly defined but are expected to start out in the low $250.00’s/cwt on a live basis. Beef cutout values had a tough day yesterday closing $3.00-7.00/cwt lower. From a seasonal perspective weaker wholesale beef prices are not uncommon for this time of the year. With warmer temperatures and many folks on holidays/road trips, people are looking for lighter meals such as cold cuts and hot dogs. And are also doing less oven prepared meals.
