DTN COMMENTS:  A few more bids are on the table at midday, but they are 
still below current asking prices that are around $240-plus in the South, 
but asking prices are still not established in the North. Significant 
trade volume will likely be delayed until later today and/or Friday. 

Beef cutouts are lower at midday (choice 386.45 -1.73, select 364.21 -
2.16) with light to moderate box movement (31.80 lds of choice cuts, 
12.39 lds of select cuts, 5.96 lds of trim, and 7.56 lds of ground). Live 
cattle futures at midday are moderately to sharply higher while feeder 
issues are sharply higher.

According to the Export Sales Highlights Report for the period of 
September 5 to September 11, beef net sales of 15,800 MT for 2025 were up 
31 percent from the previous week and 21 percent from the prior 4-week 
average. Increases primarily for South Korea (8,000 MT), Mexico (1,700 
MT), Indonesia (1,600 MT), Canada (1,200 MT), and Taiwan (1,000 MT), were 
offset by reductions for the United Kingdom (100 MT). Net sales of 400 MT 
for 2026 were for Japan. Exports of 13,200 MT were up 52 percent from the 
previous week and 23 percent from the prior 4-week average. The
