FLUID MILK AND CREAM REVIEW – WEST (USDA Market News) July 6 In California, warmer weather is negatively affecting cows’ milk output. Production is declining, according to some processors, and milk butterfat is also lower. Bottlers’ intakes are seasonally down. The June 4a price (butter/powder) in California is $15.91, up $1.48 from the previous month, and $2.40 higher than a year ago. This compares to the Federal Order Class IV price of $15.89 for June. The June 4b price (cheese) is $15.60, up $0.35 from the pre- vious month, and $2.57 above a year ago. This compares to the Federal Order Class III price for June at $16.44. In Arizona, the weather is predominantly hotter for cows’ comfort and milk yield is trending down. Some processors report that Class III plants slightly increased Central region. According to industry contacts, milk intakes into Class II manu- facturing are higher. Pasture and range conditions were reported 84 percent good to excellent in Idaho. In Utah, the first cutting of alfalfa hay is 97 percent complete, and the second cutting is 18 percent complete. Demand for condensed skim is increasing in some parts of the Western region. Contacts suggest that some manufacturers are using more condensed skim as a substitute for nonfat dry milk due to its lower price. Due to the holiday, some plants pushed back on cream last week. This week, some manufacturers report that their butter churning has slowed down as cream demand is picking back up. According to the DMN National Retail Report-Dairy for the week of June 30-July 06, the national weighted average advertised price for one gallon of milk is $3.66, up $1.23 from last week, and $1.38 higher from a year ago. No ads were reported in the Southwest and Northwest regions. their milk intakes. Class I demand continues to be stable. In New Mexico, milk production is seasonally lower. However, holdovers are higher due to the closing of some plants for the Fourth of July holiday. A number of processors reduced their daily intakes because of unexpected maintenance/repair downtimes. As a result, some balancing plants are working at full processing capabilities to clear any excess milk into the vats. Class I processors slightly increased their milk intakes to help clear some of the milk. Class II demand is steady and Class III requests are lower to steady. In the Pacific Northwest, there is an adequate supply of milk for processing activities. Pasture and range conditions are good to excellent in 64 percent of Oregon and 77 percent of Washington. In the mountain states of Idaho, Utah and Colorado, milk is readily available for processing needs. Manufacturing plants are working at near or full capacity. Some of the milk is moving with- in the region while the remaining milk is coming from the South Livestock Auctions Note: In observance of the Fourth of July holi- day, many regional auctions were not held.

July 7 This week Last week Last year 109,500 257,500 113,400 Compared to last week: There were not enough feeder cattle on hand to call a trend as the majority of sale barns took the week off in observance of Independence Day. Next week all the major markets will be open for business and should give an indication on trends. Although most markets were closed, a few opened late in the week with heavy offerings. Trade was active on a few sales reported, with good demand. Green City Livestock Market in Green City, Mo., held their Annual Customer Appreciation Barbecue on Wednesday bringing in over 4,000 head of cattle. Most of the supply includ- ed good quality yearlings that were coming off grass. Several loads of steers weighing 623 lbs averaged 180.87 and heavy yearlings weigh- ing 881 lbs and 928 lbs averaged 154.36 and 152.22, respectively. The Valentine Livestock Auction in Nebraska had 3,000 head of cattle on offer on Thursday, consisting of mostly yearlings. Yearling steers weighing 736 lbs brought a handsome price of 171.46 and those weighing 774 lbs averaged 173.38. Several loads of 826 lb steers aver- aged 167.11 and a load of fancy feeder steers weighing 954 lbs sold for 154.50. Despite the lower trends in boxed beef, futures and feedlot trade throughout the last several weeks, many feeders continue to trend at higher prices. There is good demand from farmer feeder participation, with many thinking they can make a profit or break even when fac- toring in costs at these price levels. More moisture moved in across the Plains and Midwest. However, there is no rain in sight and temperatures are expected to reach into the 100s for parts of the Northern Plains, which will further deteriorate pasture conditions. Direct feedlot trade for the week was lower again. Texas traded live cattle 1.00 lower at 118.00. Kansas traded 1.00-2.00 lower from 117.0-118.00 live. Nebraska sold live sales steady to 2.00 high- er compared to Wednesday’s lower market from 117.00-119.00 and dressed sales 2.00 lower at 188.00 compared to the previous week. Cattle feeders accepted lower prices as they aim to get profits before supplies peak in the next few months. Choice boxed-beef closed Friday 5.89 low- er at 218.84 with Select 5.91 lower at 202.51 when compared to last Friday’s close. Auction volume this week included 77 per- cent weighing over 600 lbs and 31 percent heifers.
