DTN COMMENTS: Some very light trade is starting to develop in parts of 
the South this afternoon at $228, $7 lower than last week's weighted 
average basis Texas. Some asking prices remain firm around $231-plus in 
the South and $378-plus in the North. Packer inquiry should continue to 
improve over the next several hours, especially in the South, as the bulk 
of business could essentially be done in Nebraska and Iowa. 

So far this week, dressed deals in the North have been mostly at $376, $4 
lower than last week's weighted averages. While only a small test has 
been reported in the South, Kansas specifically at $231, $5 lower than 
last week's weighted average.

Today's slaughter totaled 102,000 head, 2,000 more than a year ago, but 
16,000 less than a year ago. Saturday's kill is estimated at 1,000 head, 
bringing the weekly total to 554,000 head, 4,000 below the prior week, 
and 62,000 under 2024. Cattle futures closed moderately to mostly sharply 
lower on live contracts, off 62 to 187, and sharply lower on feeder 
issues, off 117 to 172. Beef cutouts are expected to close mixed with 
light to moderate box movement.

The just released June 1 on feed report listed 11.4 million head, down 1% 
from June 2024. Placements in May totaled 1.89 million head, 8% below last 
year; marketings in May totaled 1.76 million head, 10% less than the prior 
year; other disappearance in May totaled 62,000 head, 10% under/above the 
same time last year.
