In Nebraska and the Western Cornbelt a few early dressed trades moved at 185.00. However, not enough trades for a full market trend in any feeding region.

Alberta Beef Producers Daily Report: Alberta CA

Alberta direct cattle sales Wednesday saw no new trade to report. Dressed bids have been reported at 240.00 delivered, bids are 3.00-5.00 lower than last week. Lower money is not motivating sellers to market cattle, many producers are looking for at least steady money with last week. It sounds like lift dates are tightening a little bit as one packer was still looking for cattle for early July delivery.
