DTN MORNING COMMENTS:  Due to plant submission issues USDA summary reports 
have been delayed, but will be released as soon as possible. Bids and asking 
prices have yet to be established, and significant trade volume will likely 
be delayed until later in the week. Beef cutouts are higher at midday (choice 
395.61 +1.27, select 373.94 +1.86) with light box movement (28.42 lds of 
choice cuts, 2.35 lds of select cuts, 6.24 lds of trim, and 5.18 lds of 
ground). Live cattle futures at midday are moderately to sharply higher, 
while feeder issues are all sharply higher. 

DTN WEEKLY ROUND UP:  The bulk of trade took place late Friday last week.  
Southern live deals were done at $258 to $260, $2 to $5 higher than the 
previous week's weighted averages. In the North, a few dressed sales sold 
early in the week in Iowa at $410, but the bulk of trade on Friday for 
Nebraska and Iowa was completed at mostly $408, $3 higher than the prior 
week's weighted averages. A regional in Nebraska paid $409 for some steers. 
Keep in mind that the bulk of trade took place late Friday afternoon, after 
the mandatory cutoff, so it will be interesting to see just how many cattle 
moved and what the average prices will be when summary reports are released 
in a couple of hours. According to Thursday's Daily Direct Slaughter Cattle 
Negotiated Purchase Summary reports the weekly accumulated weighted averages 
were recorded as: KS $No test($255.77); NE $405.00($404.97); TX $No test 
($255.42); IA $405.00($404.62). (the prior week's weighted averages are 
listed in parentheses). Again, due to the late week trade, the averages 
listed will not be accurate when compared to what the actual weekly averages 
will be when summaries are released a little later this morning.

The Friday afternoon Daily Direct Slaughter Cattle report lists week-to-date 
trade volume totals as:  KS 35; NE 1,349; TX 18; IA 709. These totals will be 
extremely different when the weekly summaries come out. According to the 
Daily Livestock and Poultry Slaughter Report, Friday's slaughter totaled 
95,000 head, even with the prior week but 13,000 head below a year ago. 
Saturday's kill was estimated at 5,000 head, bringing the weekly total to 
526,000 head, 2,000 more than the previous week, but down 32,000 from 2025. 
The weekly average for boxed beef cutouts and boxed beef cuts: choice 
$395.48(+2.78), select $375.47(+0.13), with an average choice/select spread 
of $20.01(+2.65), a total load count including cuts, trimmings, and grinds 
was 463(-85), (Changes from the prior week are listed in parentheses).

For the week ending June 13, 2026, Imported Beef Passed for Entry in the U.S. 
totaled 59,447, 102.36% of the previous week and 105.25% of the 4-week 
average.
