Direct Sales
Alberta direct cattle sales Tuesday saw no new trade to report, but there is a good chance scattered trade will develop by this afternoon. Stronger fed prices have been noted in Eastern Canada and that should bode well for prices here in Western Canada. Even though carcass weights have seasonally increased quality grade percentage has struggled. For the week ending August 16th Canadian Prime and AAA grading was reported just over 70% a new annual low. Quality grade percent has bottomed much later than normal as lows traditionally occur in July.

US Trade
In the U.S, other than a few cattle trading in the Northern feeding states at steady money business has been quiet in all other feeing areas. Wholesale beef prices have been on a tare with Choice and Select beef cutout values closing $4.00-5.00/cwt higher yesterday, setting new annual highs. Earlier this week the US Department of Health and Human Services reported the first human case of New World Screwworm after the patient traveled to El Salvador. The futures market did see a sharp pull back on Monday but has rebounded right back to contract highs.
