DTN COMMENTS:  All remains quiet in cash cattle country at midday. So 
far, no asking prices have been renewed, and bids remain very elusive. 
Packer inquiries should start to improve at some point today, although 
significant trade volume may be delayed until sometime Friday. Mandatory 
did report some very light scattered live trade in Kansas and Iowa 
yesterday. A little better test was reported in Texas, see the summary 
below.

Beef cutouts are higher at midday with light to moderate box movement 
(56.16 lds of choice cuts, 4.40 lds of select cuts, 6.30 lds of trim, and 
18.19 lds of ground). Both live and feeder cattle futures near the top of 
the noon hour are mixed, mostly modestly to moderately higher. 

For the period of March 27 to April 2, net beef sales of 17,400 MT for 
2026 were up 47 percent from the previous week and 36 percent from the 
prior 4-week average. Increases were primarily for South Korea (6,100 
MT), Japan (6,100 MT), Mexico (1,100 MT), Hong Kong (900 MT), and Taiwan 
(900 MT). Exports of 13,300 MT were down 2 percent from the previous 
week, but up 1 percent from the prior 4-week average. The destinations 
were primarily to South Korea (4,600 MT), Japan (3,800 MT), Mexico (1,400 
MT), Hong Kong (1,100 MT), and Taiwan (900 MT).
