DTN COMMENTS:  A few bids are now on the table in parts of Iowa, and a 
Major has offered to "call in" for $378 in Eastern Nebraska. Packer 
inquiry should continue to improve as the day progresses, but significant 
trade volume will likely be delayed until later today and/or Friday. Beef 
cutouts are expected to be lower with light to moderate box movement.

For the period of January 23 to January 29, beef net sales of 19,700 MT 
for 2026 were up 17 percent from the previous week, but down 19 percent 
from the prior 4-week average. Increases were primarily for South Korea 
(7,600 MT), Japan (6,300 MT), Taiwan (1,500 MT), Mexico (1,100 MT), and 
Hong Kong (900 MT). Exports of 13,000 MT were up 3 percent from the 
previous week, but down 2 percent from the prior 4-week average. The 
destinations were primarily to South Korea (4,400 MT), Japan (3,800 MT), 
Mexico (1,400 MT), Taiwan (1,300 MT), and Hong Kong (700 MT).
