DTN COMMENTS:  Yet another very slow start to the day in cattle feeding 
country, but packer inquiry should start to improve as the day 
progresses. Bids and asking prices are still not established, and it is 
very possible that significant trade volume may be delayed until sometime 
tomorrow. Beef cutouts are expected to be higher with light to moderate 
box movement.

For the period of February 13 to February 19, beef net sales of 12,900 MT 
for 2026 were down 12 percent from the previous week and 23 percent from 
the prior 4-week average. Increases were primarily for Japan (4,500 MT), 
Mexico (1,900 MT), South Korea (1,900 MT), Indonesia (1,200 MT), and 
Canada (1,100 MT). Exports of 13,300 MT were unchanged from the previous 
week, but up 5 percent from the prior 4-week average. The destinations 
were primarily to South Korea (3,900 MT), Japan (3,100 MT), Mexico (1,900 
MT), Hong Kong (1,000 MT), and Taiwan (1,000 MT).
