Compiled by USDA Market News Service • Des Moines Compiled by USDA Market News Service • Madison, Wis. (USDA Market News) Nov. 8 In California, milk production is unchanged from the previous week. Supplies are largely sufficient to meet buyers’ requests. With the hol- iday in the loop, more demand for Class II milk is emerging as sour cream, cream cheese, and egg nog output levels are picking up. Class I sales are steady. Some cream from California is moving to other regions of the coun- try to help fulfill processing obligations. Overall, the market tone is balanced. In Arizona, cooler weather conditions are help- ing with milk production. Because cows are get- ting comfortable with the present climate, they are producing more milk. Nonetheless, all the milk is being used effi- ciently as milk demand for the holiday specialty products preparation is higher. Class I and IV Prices are weekly averages of daily prices. All prices are in dollars per hundredweight (cwt.). FWA is a weighted average of shipping point prices or common packs in each area. Weights differ by area.

Minor repair and mainte- nance workloads at a plant did not affect much processing activities. New Mexico milk yield is steady this week. While some plants are down for maintenance, and reduced their intakes, handlers quickly found other processors who needed the extra milk. The Southeast market demand for milk re- mains strong. Southeastern haulers are still going to New Mexico to pick up some loads of milk. In New Mexico, Class I milk needs have decreased while Class II and III requests moved up. Overall, there is a good equilibrium between supplies and demand of milk. Pacific Northwest milk intakes are mixed. While there is still plenty of milk for bottling and processing needs, farm milk production is gen- erally following the typical seasonal declines. In some parts of the region, weather patterns have been favorable for cow comfort and milk handlers see small jumps in production on cer- tain days. Milk production in the mountain states of Ida- ho, Utah and Colorado is mostly following typi- cal seasonal patterns. Manufacturers still report plenty of milk for processing and some loads of milk are moving into neighboring states to find homes. The continued financial stress is taxing the sinews of the dairy farming community. A few farms will lose markets for their milk at the end of the year and some industry contacts sug- gest culling is increasing in parts of the region. Condensed skim demand hasn’t changed from a week ago. Inventories are available to meet processing needs. Western cream supplies are mostly balanced with demand, although a bit of tightness has been noted. More of the cream is being used for holiday food manufacturing. As the result, butter makers have to compete with Class II processors to get the volumes of cream required for churning. Midwest buyers continue to source their cream needs from the western region. Cream multiples for all Classes are 1.10-1.35.

NATIONAL FEEDER AND STOCKER CATTLE (Federal-State Market News) St. Joseph, Mo. Nov. 9 This week Last week 2017 (Hd) 377,300 404,000 403,800 Compared to last week: Steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 lower. Buyers nationwide had the opportunity to see and bid on a wide range of weights, quality and flesh this week. The gamut was run on flesh from thin to fleshy; quality was from plain to excellent; and 300-700 lb steer and heifer calves were plentiful in the country. An established preweaning and vaccination program has become a must for producers to receive top dollar this time of year (in between Halloween and Thanksgiving. Many feedyards in the Upper Midwest and the Northern Plains have seen their fair share of snow already this year as anecdotes of central Nebraska feedyards have measured around six inches of snow mid to late week. Muddy pens are sure going to be a concern moving forward as the days get shorter, however temperatures in the teens in the midsection of the country may bring a welcomed freeze to ground conditions. Wind chills will be a concern this week, es- pecially on incoming feedlot cattle, but it could be a blessing in disguise if copious amounts of precipitation can hold off for a little while longer. Negotiated cash fed cattle traded today steady to 1.00 lower with live sales at mostly 114.00; a few traded earlier in the day in Texas at 115.00. Generally, dressed sales are steady with last week at 180.00. After last week’s sideways movement in the CME Cattle Complex, Monday came and wiped out any idea of moving the market higher on the week. Live Cattle con- tracts were 1.42 to 1.75 lower on the day, while Feeder Cattle contracts were 2.20 to 3.33 lower on Monday. After sideways movement the middle three days of the week, Friday saw sharp losses on the day. For the week, December 2018 through October 2019 Live Cattle contracts were 2.07 to 4.40 lower. The December Live Cattle contract closed Fri- day at 114.57; the lowest price since the middle of September. The soon to expire November Feeder Cattle contract was 3.50 lower on the week, while January 2019 through August 2019 contracts were 5.20 to 6.18 lower for the week. Auction volume this week included 35 percent weighing over 600 lbs and 39 percent heifers.
