DTN COMMENTS:  Another slow start to the morning in cash cattle country. 
Bids and asking prices are still not fully established. Significant trade 
volume will likely be delayed until later today and/or Friday. Beef 
cutouts are expected to be lower with light to moderate box movement.

For the period ending April 30, net beef sales of 10,000 MT for 2026 were 
down 27 percent from the previous week and 32 percent from the prior 4-
week average. Increases primarily for Japan (3,000 MT), Taiwan (2,500 
MT), Mexico (1,700 MT), South Korea (800 MT,), and Canada (700 MT), were 
offset by reductions for Hong Kong (800 MT), the Philippines (100 MT), 
and Vietnam (100 MT). Exports of 14,200 MT were up 15 percent from the 
previous week and 9 percent from the prior 4-week average. The 
destinations were primarily to South Korea (4,400 MT), Japan (3,600 MT), 
Hong Kong (1,400 MT), Mexico (1,400 MT), and Taiwan (1,200 MT).
