In its monthly world supply and demand report, USDA said it reduced its estimate for beef exports “due to lower than expected beef sales to Russia in the fourth quarter.” The report gave no details. USDA also cut its estimate of U.S. beef exports in 2000 to 2.265 billion lbs from its previous forecast of 2.290 billion lbs.
