Direct Sales
Alberta direct cattle sales last week saw light trade develop with weighted average steer and heifer price closing the week around $350.00/cwt, $1.00/cwt lower than the previous week. Alberta fed prices are trading at a $10.00/cwt premium over the Eastern Canadian market. Butcher cows traded $1.00-3.00/cwt higher through commercial auction facilities last week. Over the past four weeks Western Canadian cow slaughter is 17% large than last year. The first time this year cow slaughter volumes have been above last year. Were still seeing a few cow/calf pairs on the market, demand for younger cow/calf pairs remains strong with top end sales in the $8,000.00-9,000.00/ pair area. Middle aged to more mature cow calf pairs seem to be a tougher sell.
