FLUID MILK AND CREAM REVIEW – WEST (USDA Market News) July 5 California milk volumes being produced have dropped. Dairy farmers expect a further drop in milk yield throughout the summer. However, milk loads available for processing have increased during this short holiday week as some plant operations were closed. The butterfat content of milk is declining. Sales into Class 1 are steady. Some cream is moving out of state. In Arizona, milk components are declining. Sales into bottling facilities are flat. Dairy pro- ducers noted that the long stretch of higher daytime temperatures is taking a toll on cows’ comfort. Farm milk production in New Mexico con- tinues to trend lower as weeks go by. None- theless, processors indicate that they have sufficient milk to satisfy all manufacturing obligations. Milk volumes heading into bottling plants increased as grocery and convenience stores restocked their shelves for the past holiday sales. Class II sales declined while Class III demand increased. In the Pacific Northwest, milk production is in line with seasonal norms. Comfortable weather conditions for cows are contributing to robust milk output. As so, there is sufficient milk to meet most manufacturing requirements. Handlers are managing accordingly any excess loads of milk by finding additional pro- cessing room wherever possible. In the mountain states of Idaho, Utah and Colorado, milk production remains strong. In the North, milk production is increasing ahead of the peak season. However, in the South, hot temperatures have negatively affected total milk yield. Manufacturers have plenty of milk for their daily processing activities. Handlers are man- aging milk volumes without any major issues. Currently, a limited number of distressed loads are trading at discounted prices. Western condensed skim remains available to satisfy all buyers’ requests. The cream market in the West has been im- proving for the past few weeks. This trend has slowed down slightly with the holiday. Some butter manufacturers are clearing cream readily to the ice cream/soft serve/fro- zen novelties markets. Cream cheese production seems to be steady. In some parts of the West, cream trans- portation is difficult to manage due to increas- ing temperatures that could affect the quality of cream. Cream multiples haven’t changed from a week ago. They are at 1.07 to 1.28, reflecting intrastate and interstate sales. ket: Not enough stocker or feeder cattle this week for accurate market test.

July 6 This week Last week 2017 (Hd) 80,300 297,000 109,500 Compared to June 29: There were not enough feeder cattle on offer to establish a trend as the ma- jority of auction barns took the week off in observance of Independence Day with over half of the auction receipts attributed to the drought-stricken state of Missouri. Next week all the major markets will be open for business and will give an indication on trends. In the green hills of north central Missouri at Green City Livestock’s Annual Customer Appreciation Sale last Friday, the heat index moved the mercury high in the thermometer and the bidding was just as hot as order buyers had to call customers and get higher bids if cattle were going to be procured. Today at Lexington Livestock Market in Lexington, Neb., over 500 head of top quality weaned, vaccinat- ed and dewormed steers weighing 900-950 lbs sold for a weighted average of 152.45 and a top price paid in that weight category of 154.00. Fed cattle movement in June was strong as cattle slaughter continues moving along at a pretty good clip averaging 655K for the four full weeks in the month. Even though boxed beef values have been in a slide for the past month, negotiated cash fed cattle trade was bullish this week as strong packer bids surfaced Friday morning at 112.00 in the Southern Plains. Southern Plains live fed cattle trading sold 5.00 to 6.00 higher at 112.00 to 113.50, while Nebras- ka dressed sales sold mostly 10.00 to 11.00 higher at 175.00 to 180.00, mostly 180.00. For the week, Choice cutout closed 3.93 lower at 208.03 while the Select cutout closed 0.14 higher at 198.71. The Choice-Select spread now sets at 9.32 to close the week.
