DTN COMMENTS:  A few bids have been renewed in parts of Nebraska, but 
asking prices remain very elusive at midday. Packer inquiry should 
improve as the day progresses. Having said that, it is very possible that 
significant trade volume could be delayed until sometime Friday, possibly 
after the March 1 on feed report is released. 

Beef cutouts are lower at midday (choice 400.42 -1.33, select 393.68 -
2.49) with light box movement (28.38 lds of choice cuts, 3.53 lds of 
select cuts, 6.77 lds of trim, and 8.80 lds of ground). Both live and 
feeder cattle futures are sharply lower at this time.

For the period of March 6 to March 12, beef net sales of 3,200 MT for 
2026--a marketing-year low--were down 87 percent from the previous week 
and 80 percent from the prior 4-week average. Increases primarily for 
Japan (3,800 MT), Hong Kong (1,600 MT), Taiwan (800 MT), Canada (400 MT), 
and Indonesia (200 MT), were offset by reductions for South Korea (3,600 
MT), the Philippines (300 MT), Guatemala (300 MT), Mexico (100 MT), and 
Peru (100 MT). Exports of 13,600 MT were up 19 percent from the previous 
week and 2 percent from the prior 4-week average. The destinations were 
primarily to South Korea (4,400 MT), Japan (4,100 MT), Mexico (1,300 MT), 
Hong Kong (1,300 MT), and Taiwan (1,100 MT).
