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. Canfax released its November 1st cattle on feed report last Friday, feedlot placements for the month of October were larger than last year. Larger feedlot placements were driven by heifers. In October heifer placements were 31% larger than last year. This is the first time in 5 months that feedlot placements have been above last year. November 1st cattle on feed inventories are below last year but right inline with the five-year average.
