Alberta Beef Producers Daily Report: Alberta CA

It was a typically quiet day for fed cattle trade on Monday. Showlist volumes were compiled and are steady with last week. Feedlots are generally current, but will continue to look to move cattle as market ready numbers are likely going to continue to expand. Fed cattle harvest levels have also increased in Alberta which is supportive to fed cattle demand.
