DTN COMMENTS:  The country is off to another slow start this morning, 
with bids and asking prices still not established. Packer inquiry will 
have to improve as the day progresses, having said that it is possible 
that significant trade volume may be delayed until after the on feed 
report is released at 2:00pm CST. Beef cutouts are expected to be mixed 
with light to moderate box movement.

For the period of February 6 to February 12, beef net sale of 14,700 MT 
for 2026 were down 6 percent from the previous week and 13 percent from 
the prior 4-week average. Increases were primarily for South Korea (5,500 
MT), Japan (2,600 MT), Hong Kong (1,600 MT), Taiwan (1,300 MT), and 
Indonesia (1,100 MT). Exports of 13,400 MT were up 15 percent from the 
previous week and 7 percent from the prior 4-week average. The 
destinations were primarily to South Korea (4,400 MT), Japan (3,900 MT), 
Taiwan (1,200 MT), Mexico (1,200 MT), and Hong Kong (1,000 MT).
