Dairy Report

Fluid Milk and Cream — West
Jan. 3
In some areas of the West, milk surplus-
es have been noted above projected vol-
umes. According to market participants,
this could be because Class I and II sales
were less than expected.
Currently, California milk production is
increasing more than in previous years.
Nonetheless, coverages were largely
available to process all the milk within the
state.
Class I sales in the state are returning to
normal as schools prepare to reopen. No
issues with milk handling surfaced during
the holiday.
In Arizona, balancing plants are full of
milk due to the closing of small facilities
earlier in the week for the holiday. For-
tunately, there are adequate capacities
for milk handling. Milk orders from retail
outlets are increasing while intakes from
educational institutions are slowly return-
ing to pre-holiday levels. Class II intakes
remain active as cream prices are low.
New Mexico milk production is stable,
following the same pattern as last week.
Many plants are back to normal schedules
after the holiday, and they are running at
full capacities to process all the excesses
of milk. Class I and II sales increased while
Class III demand is declining.
Milk production in the Pacific Northwest
is strong. Dairy contacts suggest milk
components have maintained high levels
and, as a result, cream is plentiful as well.
In some cases, this is putting downward
pressure on cream multiples. Milk intakes
are slowly returning to normal following
the winter holidays. Bottling demand is
slowly returning to pre-holiday levels.
Manufacturers are not having any trouble
getting the milk needed for processing.
Milk production in the mountain states
of Idaho, Utah and Colorado continues at
strong seasonal volumes. Manufacturers
have plenty of milk available for almost
all processing needs. Any excess loads of
milk are getting pushed into surround-
ing states. The western condensed skim
market is stable, with products largely
accessible to the market. More condensed
skim moved to the dryers during the past
holidays.
In the West, cream is plentiful and is
trading at low multiples. Cream multiples
for all Classes are 1.00-1.17. Butter proces-
sors are making more butter and replen-
ishing their stocks for future usages.

Compared to two weeks ago, steers under
700 pounds were mostly 1.00-4.00 higher, in-
stances up to 9.00 higher in Nebraska; steers
over 700 pounds moved at price points that
were steady to 4.00 lower.
The Southeastern region saw sharply higher
prices on all classes, due to good demand and
very light receipts.
Muddy pen conditions as temperatures in-
creased in the North and rain and snow in the
South have caused concerns, especially on the
placements of heavier weight cattle.
This week’s receipts across the country were
hindered for several reasons. Not all markets
were operational this week, due to the holiday
interruptions early week; heavy rains through-
out the Southeast and winter storms on much of
the North Central and South Center regions.The
majority of the fed cattle trade this week took
place on Thursday, with the bulk of live sales
in the Southern Plains and Nebraska trading
steady at 123.00.
Late Friday morning, light dressed trade
evolved in Nebraska at prices were steady com-
pared to last week at 195.00. Poor feedlot con-
