Alberta direct cattle sales Thursday saw light trade develop with dressed sales marked at 240.00 delivered. Sales are 2.00 higher than the previous week. Buying interest was noted from all three western Canadian packers. This is the fourth consecutive week of higher fed cattle prices, tentatively prices are at the highest point since mid August. Some cattle that traded this week would not be picked up until early November. Cash to futures basis levels did weaken. Sale volumes are shaping up rather light this week and some cattle will be carried into next week.
