Alberta Beef Producers Daily Report:

Alberta direct cattle sales Tuesday saw no new trade to report but there is a chance scattered trade could develop by this afternoon. Technical price levels have improved from the beginning of the week. Some producers have indicated all their July contract cattle have been delivered. Looking at a counter-seasonal rally for fed cattle prices along with historically strong basis levels. This has encouraged producers to market cattle.
