The sharp decline in US cattle slaughter last week could help support beef demand and trigger the typical seasonal recovery in boxed beef prices during August. According to The AG Center, packers will need to remain active in the negotiated cash market to secure slaughter supplies, as fed cattle availability is expected to stay tight through the end of the year.
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced that six additional meat and poultry companies have adopted the voluntary Product of USA label, which identifies products derived from animals that are born, raised, harvested, and processed entirely in the United States. The initiative is part of the Trump Administration’s strategy to help consumers identify authentically American-produced food.
A group of US states filed a lawsuit against the Donald Trump administration over its attempt to use Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 as a new legal basis for maintaining its global tariff policy, Bloomberg reported.
Sheep slaughter fell to just a few hundred head and was the lowest in seven weeks. No plant recorded significant activity in the category.
Cattle slaughter remained at levels similar to previous weeks, but production for the quota window was reflected in the composition, with cows accounting for a small share of the total.
INAC reported that 42,548 cattle were slaughtered in the week to August 1, 2,800 more than in the previous week, an increase of 7%, but 10% below the more than 47,000 processed in the same week last year.
The European Union was the highest-paying destination for Mato Grosso beef exports during the first half of 2026. According to Foreign Trade Secretariat (Secex) data compiled by the Mato Grosso Meat Institute (Imac), the European bloc paid up to 40% higher than those offered by other major markets, consolidating its position as the highest-value destination for the state’s beef.
