DTN COMMENTS:  Yet another very slow start to the day in feeder cattle 
country, but we expect that packer inquiry will improve as the day 
progresses. So far, no bids or asking prices have been renewed this 
morning. Yesterday a few asking prices were noted late in the day in 
parts of the South at $244, and a handful of bids were noted in Nebraska 
at $375. If the trend of the last several weeks holds, significant trade 
volume may be delayed until sometime tomorrow. Beef cutouts are expected 
to be higher with light to moderate box movement.

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).
