Direct Sales
Alberta direct cattle sales Thursday saw light trade develop with dressed sales ranging from 260.00-263.00 delivered, 2.00-5.00 lower than the previous week. Yesterday live bids were reported in the low 150’s FOB the feedlot, 5.00 lower than last week’s weighted average price. Cattle that traded this week were being scheduled for the second half of November delivery. There were a couple instances where cattle would not be picked up until the first week in December. It was a tough week for both the fed cattle and non-fed market this week. Western Canadian packer competition on both markets were limited.

Pre-report estimates are indicating September placements to be up 1% compared to last year while fed cattle marketings are projected to be down 1%. If realized this would put October 1st cattle on feed inventories down 1% versus last year.
