The Choice beef cutout was quoted at a little over $365/cwt, $12 (3%) lower than a year ago, as fed beef production runs below last year. Rib primal values rose to nearly $680/cwt, 8% above year-ago levels, while other primals softened.
Divergent primal performance shows beef demand is uneven: inelastic rib demand ahead of holidays supports higher rib prices, while weaker cuts pressure the overall cutout and cattle values.
