Direct Sales
Alberta direct cattle sales Tuesday saw no new trade to report but there is a good chance scattered trade will develop by this afternoon. Earlier in the week there were rumblings hat steady money was being bid by one packer. Non-fed volumes are seasonally increasing, and prices continue to trend lower. Alberta cow prices are at a discount to the US market. If cow prices continue to slide more could go into the US for slaughter. With that said, whether its fed cattle or cows the one limiting factor will be finding trucks to go south.
