Direct Sales
Alberta direct cattle sales so far this week have seen light trade develop with dressed sales at $500.00/cwt delivered, sales are positioned at the top end of last week’s trading range. Cattle that traded were scheduled for late November/early December delivery. US packer interest was noted, and light volumes of Western Canadian fed cattle were marketed South. Over the past couple of weeks Eastern Canadian fed prices have been trading at a slight premium over the Western Canadian market. Volumes have been light, but there have been a few Saskatchewan fed cattle heading east into Manitoba for slaughter.

US Trade
In the US, light trade was reported in Iowa and Nebraska yesterday with dressed sales ranging from $345.00-355.00/cwt, $5.00/cwt higher than the previous week. Live sales in Iowa were at $220.00/cwt, anywhere from $2.00/cwt higher to $3.00/cwt softer compared to last week. Live bids in Texas and Kansas were at $226.00/cwt, bids are fully steady with the previous week. Packers have bought very few cattle and buying inter will pick up over the next couple of hours. To a certain degree live cattle contracts seem to be pricing in higher cash prices for this week.
