Alberta Direct Trade
Alberta Direct Trade
The Alberta direct trade on Thursday saw light trade develop with dressed sales at $490.00/cwt delivered, steady with prices seen on Wednesday and $5.00-10.00/cwt lower than the previous week. Competition on the cash market was limited with one major packer not bidding on cattle. US packer interest was supportive and light volumes of Western Canadian fed cattle were marketed South. These cattle will be priced off the five-area average. It was a disappointing week for the fed cattle market with new annual price lows being established. There have been reports two Western Canadian packers are scheduled to take cattle this Saturday.

U.S. Trade (U.S. funds)
U.S. cash cattle trade
The U.S. cash cattle trade saw light trade was reported in Nebraska yesterday with live sales ranging from $214.00-216.00/cwt, lower than prices seen earlier in the week and $7.00-8.00/cwt lower than last week. Dressed sales in Iowa were from $335.00-340.00/cwt, $10.00-15.00/cwt lower. Sales in Texas and Kansas were at $218.00/cwt on a live basis, $7.00/cwt weaker. Light trade is still possible for today but for the most part business has wrapped up for this week. With record large carcass weights US 50% trim prices have struggled hovering near annual lows. US 50% trim prices are 40% below last year. This week is a week the cattle feeder would like to forget, live and feeder cattle contracts are seeing losses again today, and are within a couple hundred points of their lows set back in early September.
