AABSM Protein Intelligenceby American Beef Sales
Daily beef & pork market intelligence

See the market coming—not where it’s already been.

The legacy reports tell you what the cutout did last Friday. ABSM tells you what every cut is likely to do next—with a plain buy or hold hand-to-mouth call, updated daily off USDA data.

USDA-sourced · noon + close daily 10 yr back-tested model Beef & pork · every IMPS cut
The difference

A windshield, not a rear-view mirror.

Every serious desk already gets the Friday report. It’s a good record of what happened—but by the time you read it, the market has moved. ABSM is built for the decision you make Monday morning.

The traditional weekly report

Rear-view mirror

what already happened
  • Weekly. One snapshot every Friday—stale before Tuesday.
  • Describes last week’s move; no forecast.
  • Commentary, but no buy/sell call (“not investment advice”).
  • Primal-level cutout; you back into the cut you actually trade.
  • A PDF you read—not a tool you can query.
ABSM Protein Intelligence

Windshield

what happens next & what to do
  • Daily + the noon quote—you see the move as it forms, not on Friday.
  • 1 / 4 / 13-week forecast per cut, back-tested against a decade of USDA history.
  • Buy / Extend / Hand-to-mouth signals—an actual call, not a paragraph.
  • Every IMPS sub-primal—ribeye 112A to chuck roll 116A to 50CL trim.
  • A live tool and a weekly report—plus volume-conviction the others don’t track.
What you get

The whole board, priced by the cut.

Built on the public USDA feeds your market already runs on—then turned into something you can act on before the close.

01 · TIMING

Noon & close, daily

The 9:30 am noon quote and the settled PM close for the trim complex and the boxed cutout—days ahead of any weekly.

02 · FORECAST

1 / 4 / 13-week model

A fitted persistence model per cut, gated so it only shows a forecast once it beats a naive baseline in walk-forward testing.

03 · ACTION

Buy / Sell signals

Every cut carries a call—Strong Buy, Extend coverage, Hold, or Hand-to-mouth—from a weighted, data-driven score.

04 · CUTS

Every IMPS sub-primal

Choice, Select and ungraded—noon, close and weekly—keyed by IMPS, not just a primal average.

05 · CONVICTION

Volume that validates

A move on heavy negotiated volume is real; a thin-market blip isn’t. We flag the difference—the flush before the drop.

06 · CONTEXT

The drivers behind it

Slaughter, carcass weights, exports, cutout demand and the import proxy—wired into the forecast, not just charted.
