Direct Sales
Alberta direct cattle sales Thursday saw light trade develop with dressed sales reported at $405.00/cwt delivered, fully steady with prices seen on Wednesday and steady with last week. Cattle that traded were being scheduled for late October to mid-November delivery. US packer interest on the Western Canadian fed market was fairly quiet this week. Tentatively Alberta fed cash to futures basis levels are the weakest since March. Packers continue to have leverage over the cattle feeder. Fed cattle prices are on track to establish new second half of the year lows this week.
