The USDA released its weekly beef market bundle on September 8, 2026, covering the boxed beef cutout, cattle and beef summary, and tallow, protein and hide prices. Weekly cattle slaughter was 526,000 head, below the prior week's 542,000 but above the same week last year.
Meat and bone meal at 50% protein was quoted at 500 per ton.
This is routine government data with no new shock, so it gives buyers a baseline for beef supply and by-product feed prices rather than a clear directional signal.
