USDA reported weekly US beef export net sales of 11,000 tonnes, 29% below the four-week average, while beef shipments rose to 13,400 tonnes. Pork net sales were 37,300 tonnes, 5% above the four-week average despite falling 12% from the prior week; Mexican cattle import quotations at two US border crossings were down $15–$20 from a week earlier.
Below-average beef bookings point to softer export demand and could weigh on cattle prices, although stronger shipments partly offset that signal. Pork sales remained above their recent average, limiting evidence of a broader export-demand decline.
