DTN WEEKLY ROUND UP:  Last week business took place on Wednesday and Thursday. 
Northern dressed deals ranged from $398 to $403, mostly $403, $5 lower than 
the prior week's weighted averages. Southern live trade was done at $255, $3 
less than the previous week's weighted averages. Due to the 4th of July 
holiday, no Mandatory reports were released on Friday. According to 
Wednesday's Daily Direct Slaughter Cattle Negotiated Purchase Summary reports 
the weekly accumulated weighted averages were recorded as: KS 
$255.00($258.00); NE $402.63($407.62); TX $NA Conf($258.00); IA 
$408.00($408.18), (the prior week's weighted averages are listed in 
parentheses).

The Friday afternoon Daily Direct Slaughter Cattle report lists week-to-date 
trade volume totals as:  KS 9,571; NE 24,758; TX NA Confidentiality; IA 9,901. 
According to the Daily Livestock and Poultry Slaughter Report, Thursday's 
slaughter totaled 109,000 head, even with the prior week but 5,000 head below 
a year ago. Due to the Independence Day holiday the Friday and Saturday kill 
will not be available until later today. The weekly average for boxed beef 
cutouts and boxed beef cuts: choice $390.73(-5.80), select $370.74(-5.48), 
with an average choice/select spread of $19.99(-0.32), and a total load count 
including cuts, trimmings, and grinds was 401(-60), (Changes from the prior 
week are listed in parentheses).

For the week ending June 27, 2026, Imported Beef Passed for Entry in the U.S. 
totaled 59,678, 103.10% of the previous week and 101.54% of the 4-week 
average. 

DTN MORNING COMMENTS:  It looks to be a rather quiet Monday morning with both 
buyers and sellers busy taking inventory and preparing for the week ahead. 
Bids and asking prices are not established, and significant trade volume will 
likely be delayed until much later in the week. Beef cutouts are expected to 
be lower with light box movement.
