Brian Perillat is Manager and Senor Analyst with Canfax.
"As good as the processing rates have been, I guess we're still seeing a bit of a backlog impact the market," he said. "The fed cattle market has been completely flat...Typically this time of year we start to see a little bit of price improvement but two or three weeks ago we had record large carcass weights. There's a lot of big steers and heifers out there that have to get processed and that's kind of weighing on the market."
