DTN COMMENTS:  A few bids are now on the table in parts of Nebraska this 
morning, but asking prices are still not fully established. Packer 
inquiries will improve as the day progresses. Yesterday a few live bids 
were reported in Kansas and Iowa at $253. Beef cutouts are expected to be 
lower with light to moderate box movement.

For the period of May 15 to May 21, net beef sales of 32,900 MT for 2026

(3,500 MT), South Korea (2,300 MT), China (1,800 MT), and Guatemala (800 
MT). Exports of 33,500 MT were down 2 percent from the previous week and 
8 percent from the prior 4-week average. The destinations were primarily 
to Mexico (14,700 MT), Japan (5,300 MT), South Korea (3,200 MT), Colombia
