Compared to last week, Breaking cows traded steady to 2.00 higher while Boning and Lean cows traded 3.00-6.00 higher. Slaughter bulls traded steady. Demand was good on slaughter animals and moderate on replacements. The supply of slaughter animals was moderate while the supply of replacements was light. The USDA's Cold Storage Report, released last week, reported beef in storage was up 1 percent from the previous month but down 3 percent from a year ago. On Monday, a partnership was announced between JBS S.A. and China's WH Group, a publicly traded Chinese meat and food processing company, which could reach $717 M annually in the sale of beef, pork and poultry to China. This, along with President Trump signing the USMCA today, has increased optimism in the agriculture sector.
