US Trade

In the US, light trade was reported in Nebraska yesterday with dressed sales at $372.00/cwt, fully steady with the previous week. Business in the Southern feeding states has been quiet with no bids to speak of. The bright spot for the beef complex is the 90% trim market. Reduced cow slaughter volumes have been price supportive. Trim prices are holding at record high levels. This also highlights how strong consumer demand is for hamburger. In the US around 50% of the beef consumed is ground beef.
