Direct Sales
Alberta direct cattle sales on Wednesday saw light trade develop with dressed sales ranging from $485.00-495.00/cwt delivered, (most of the sales have been at $495.00/cwt delivered). Sales are positioned at the top end of last week’s trading range. US packer interest has been noted, and live bids are working out around $300.00/cwt on a live basis, based in Southern AB. Fed cattle supplies are not overly current. Facing negative margins, it is not uncommon to see producers fighting the market adding extra feeding days to their cattle.

US Trade
In the US, there is no new trade to report. Business has been quiet in all major feeding areas. In terms of beef demand, September is traditionally a weaker month as back to school and summer holiday expenses come due. Based on the five-year average Choice cutout values historically decline 2% from August to September. Looking at the energy markets, late last week US diesel prices overtook their previous highs set back in June 2022. Higher fuel prices will be passed down the supply chain.
