LAST WEEK'S ROUND UP:  Trade came in a little bit each day 
last week, and it was another round of price ranges so large 
you could drive a truck through them (between $10 to $16).  
Nebraska's dressed deals ranged from $178 to $190, while 
Iowa's dressed range was $174 to $190. Kansas live prices 
ranged from $110 to $120, while Texas had a full range of 
$108 to $120. Where will weighted averages fall when 
summaries come out later this morning? Well, that is 
anybody's guess at this point. According to the Friday 
afternoon Mandatory reports weekly trade volumes were as 
follows: KS 21,911; NE 39,978; TX 6,432; IA 28,197; CO not 
available due to confidentiality. 

DTN MORNING COMMENTS:  The country is quiet this morning, with 
bids and asking prices not established. If the trend of the 
last several weeks follows suit, we may see light business 
throughout the week. Beef cutouts are expected to be lower with 
generally light box movement.

For the week ending May 23, 2020, Imported Beef Passed for 
Entry in the U.S. totaled 40,697, 97.60% of the previous week 
and 105.90% of the 4-week average.
