Alberta Beef Producers Daily Report: Alberta CA

Alberta direct cattle sales Wednesday saw no new trade to report dressed bids have been reported from 225.00-228.00 delivered. Bids are 7.00-8.00 lower than the previous week. Live bids have been reported in the low to mid 130's and are 7.00 lower than last week's weighted average price.   Packers want to buy cattle at lower money while cattle feeders seem willing to carry cattle into next week. The way things are shaping up sale volumes will be very light.
