Direct Sales

Alberta direct cattle sales on Tuesday saw no new trade to report but there is a good chance scattered trade will develop by this afternoon. Over the past three weeks Western Canadian steer carcass weights have been hovering on either side of 900lbs. Carcass weights are 15-25lbs heavier than last year. Two Western Canadian packer are lifting fed cattle rather quickly which should continue to bring carcass weights down. Widespread moisture has been noted across the prairies causing further seeding delays. Seeding completion is running behind the five-year average. Getting later into the season this could potentially increase barley acres. New crop barley bids have been steady over the past month trading at $300.00/tonne delivered into Southern AB.

US Trade

In the US, there is no new trade to report. Yesterday dressed bids were at $403.00/cwt, steady with Monday and $2.00/cwt lower than last week. Business in the Southern feeding states has been quiet with no bids to speak of. The story has been the same over the past couple of weeks beef cutout values have struggled to post a price rally. Looking forward there are a couple key holidays and events upcoming with Father’s Day and the July 4th holiday.  On top of that, the US has regained access to the Chinese market. All these should be price supportive to the beef complex.
