Slaughter Cattle:

So far for Thursday in the Southern Plains trading has been at a standstill. In Nebraska and the Western Cornbelt trading has been limited on very light demand. Not enough trades for a market trend in these feeding regions. Last week in the Southern Plains and Western Cornbelt live cash trades were at 115.00 and dressed trades, in the Western Cornbelt, were from 182.00-183.00 with a few up to 184.00. For the prior week in Nebraska live cash trades were mostly from 114.00-115.00 and dressed trades were mostly from 183.00-184.00.

Alberta Beef Producers Daily Report:

Alberta direct cattle sales Wednesday saw no new trade to report. Dressed bids have been reported in the upper 230's on a delivered basis. Bids are positioned at the bottom end of last week's trading range. Generally speaking, steady money is not motivating producers to sell cattle. Buying interest in the cash market remains moderate as packers are comfortably bought out in front.
