The Alberta direct trade on Wednesday saw light trade develop with dressed sales and bids ranging from $585.00-590.00/cwt delivered, mostly steady with last week. Buying interest has been noted from all Western Canadian packers. US packer interest has also been noted, and buyers are being more selective, showing interest in higher grading cattle. Fed supplies are current and with recent rains cattle are fighting muddy pen conditions and performance has been impacted. With cattle carrying extra mud this will also have an impact on dressing percentage.
