Consequently, milk holdovers have in- creased. Handlers are redirecting the excess milk supplies to other processing plants. Bottled milk requests from educational institutions and retail outlets are trending lower. Class II requests have increased. Overall, milk yield in New Mexico has moved up. Milk production in the Pacific Northwest is mostly following seasonal trends. Some industry contacts suggest a recent cold snap may have dampened milk output slightly in some areas. Al- though it may be too early to tell if the recent cold and precipitation will have much effect on milk production, it is reminiscent of the winter weath- er parts of the region experienced last year. Some industry contacts suggest a few herds still have not fully recovered from the miserable cow comfort conditions. Milk production in the mountain states of Idaho, Colorado and Utah is steady. Although milk output is near its seasonal low for the year, manufacturers report no trouble whatsoever in getting the milk needed. Processors are running at or near full capacity in order to keep up with upcoming holiday demand and to stay ahead of the available milk supply. Condensed skim supplies are plentiful in the West. Processors are looking to contract con- densed skim and cream for 2018. However, due to lower current prices, customers are not concerned with product availability or contract- ing for next year. According to industry contacts, cheese mak- ers’ demand for condensed skim decreased. This week, cream demand for butter churning is solid in Arizona, but slightly lower in California. A number of industry representatives suggest that some cream is moving from Arizona to Texas. Mexico is also taking in some loads of cream Prices are weekly averages of daily prices.

NA Dairy Report FLUID MILK AND CREAM REVIEW – WEST (USDA Market News) Nov. 9 In California, an incident at a cheese plant caused spot milk availability to increase. As so, spot prices are temporarily lower in some areas. This week, milk production is mixed with reports of increasing and decreasing outputs. Some manufacturers have maintenance/repair work- loads that reduced their processing activities. Class 1 intakes are steady this week. Milk out- put in Arizona is increasing, as the weather gets cooler. Some processing plants are planning their production schedules for the fall and winter. They anticipate that production will further in- crease and are looking for additional processing plants to help balance their milk as needed. A few manufacturers are doing their routine main- tenance work to make sure that they are ready for Christmas processing activities. Sales into Class I are stable. In New Mexico, Compiled by North American Potato Market News and USDA Agricultural Market Service for up to Christmas. Although current cream de- mand in the West is seasonally active, supplies outweigh demand. Some Californian cream sellers report limited tank availability to move their loads. Multipliers for all Classes are 1.07 to 1.29. Ac- cording to the DMN National Retail Report-Dairy for the week of Nov. 3-9, the national weighted average advertised price for one gallon of milk is $2.79, down $0.05 from last week, but $0.63 higher from a year ago.

NATIONAL FEEDER AND STOCKER CATTLE (Federal-State Market News) St. Joseph, Mo. Nov. 10 This week Last week Last year 403,800 401,300 324,100 Compared to last week: Steers and heifers sold 1.00 to 5.00 higher, with some markets quoted up to 8.00 higher. One of the most talked about subjects currently in auctions is the readily available status of calves; weaned and unweaned. Demand was moderate to good this week for calves that were preconditioned and weaned for an appropriate amount of time. While demand was light for calves with no shots or only one round of shots. Very good demand for yearlings early in the week after last week’s much higher fed cattle market; however the luster has come off that apple as analysts surmised that both the CME cattle complex appeared to be oversold and have now come off of their contract highs of Hal- loween week. With the current price structure of the CME Live Cattle contracts the best demand is for yearlings and for those big calves that will finish before the summer months. Market reporters have noted less crowds in attendance at sales due to farmers and ranch- ers wanting to finish harvest and complete fall tillage work before taking on some more chores with winter fast approaching. In Philip, S.D., on Tuesday, two loads of steers that averaged 733 lbs with all the bells and whistles sold at 185.00. The YTD average steer carcass weight re- ported through September for 2017 is at 812 lbs; 13 lbs below a year ago and 9 lbs below the previous year average. Total cattle slaughter is around 1.4 million more than 2016 and just a mere 9K more than the previous three year average. The most dramatic jump in YTD slaughter rate for January to September is the heifer slaughter which has posted near 670K head more. Choice boxed beef closed Friday at 213.85; 5.11 higher than last week. For the second week in a row, total receipts on this report topped 400K; the last time that occurred was Jan. 11 and 18 in 2013. Auction volume this week included 39 percent weighing over 600 lbs and 39 percent heifers.
