DTN COMMENTS:  Still just a few dressed bids on the table in parts of 
Nebraska at midday, but asking prices remain rather elusive (yesterday a 
few asking prices were noted late in the day in parts of the South at 
$244). If the trend of the last several weeks holds, significant trade 
volume may be delayed until sometime tomorrow. 

Beef cutouts are mixed at midday (choice 388.47 -0.10, select 380.91 
+0.56) with light box movement (24.12 lds of choice cuts, 4.98 lds of 
select cuts, 11.98 lds of trim, and 6.70 lds of ground). Live cattle 
futures are mostly modestly higher, while feeder issues are mostly 
significantly lower near the top of the noon hour.

For the period of February 20th to February 26th, net beef sales of 
11,200 MT for 2026 were down 14 percent from the previous week and 29 
percent from the prior 4-week average. Increases were primarily for Japan 
(3,300 MT), South Korea (2,300 MT), Mexico (1,700 MT), Taiwan (1,400 MT), 
and Hong Kong (700 MT). Exports of 14,900 MT were up 12 percent from the 
previous week and 16 percent from the prior 4-week average. The 
destinations were primarily to South Korea (5,000 MT), Japan (3,700 MT), 
Mexico (1,500 MT), Hong Kong (1,400 MT), and Taiwan (1,200 MT).
