Compared to June 12: Domestic New crop Premium
Alfalfa steady in a light test. A lack of higher testing new
crop Alfalfa has increased demand. An abundance of
feeder quality rained on supplies have put pressure on
the market for that commodity. Trade remains slow as rain
showers over the trade area have slowed marketing. Retail/

California Hay Report
June 19
Compared to June 12: Trade activity moderate on moderate
demand. According to the June 15 NASS Crop Progress report,
in Tulare County, harvesting of winter grain such as wheat, oats
and barley was completed. However, some winter grain fields re-
mained for dried grain harvest. Some winter grains, especially oats
were being cut, dried and baled for hay. Cotton fields were being
cultivated and irrigated. Fields were being fertilized and tilled for
corn and sorghum planting as well as cultivated for weeds. Alfalfa
continued to be irrigated, cut, dried and baled. In Fresno County,
herbicide applications were ongoing in barley and oat fields as
needed. Cotton emerged due to warmer weather. Wheat for
fodder, sorghum, triticale, and winter wheat forage was being har-
vested for dairy feed and cover crop. Harvested fields were disked
and cultivated for re-planting of more forage crops. Rice fields were
growing well. A few mustard fields were mowed, and safflower
fields were drying down in anticipation for harvest. The rice crop
was progressing at a normal pace in the Sacramento Valley.
Hay is reported FOB the stack or barn unless otherwise
noted. Regions are defined at bottom of report.

has plateaued. Milk handlers and farmers
are keeping milk intakes in good balance
with processing needs. Most manufacturers
are running at or near full capacity. Bottling
demand is steady. Class II processors are
soaking up much of the cream, and a lot of
milk fat is getting tied up in cheese produc-
tion as well. Cream supplies remain tight.
Milk production in the mountain states of
Idaho, Utah, and Colorado remains heavy.
Seasonal weather is not putting much
of a damper on milk production. Many
manufacturers are running well above
designed capacity for their facilities, but milk
availability is not an issue. Within the region,
some spot loads of milk are priced at $4
under Class IV. Industry contacts also report
milk handlers are sending a few loads of milk
out of state at lower prices. Condensed skim
drying is active. Some loads are going to
Class II processing. Condensed skim supplies
are limited.
Western cream availability continues to be
tight, but not as much as last week. Demands
are still strong, but have relaxed a bit com-
pared to the previous week. Cream multiples
for all Classes are steady on the range.
According to industry contacts, a few loads
of western cream are being transported to
the Midwest.

Fluid Milk and Cream — Western U.S.
June 18
California milk supplies are down and are
not always enough to fill spot demands.
However, the most pressing needs can be
taken care of without any major issue. Milk
production is still lower. Class I sales are
steady. Class II demands are somewhat in-
creasing. A few ice cream manufacturers are
taking more milk for their production needs.
Milk component levels are down.
In Arizona, farm milk output remains
unchanged from a week ago. Milk volumes
produced are enough to meet the needs of
buyers. However, there is no surplus milk
available for additional buying. Processing
facilities are running a bit below full capacity.
Bottled milk demands are steady, whereas
Class II requests are ramping up due to
increased ice cream production. No milk is
coming from other states.
Milk production in New Mexico is flat to
declining. The warmer weather conditions
are impacting milk yield. Nevertheless,
manufacturers are getting their needs filled.
Holdovers are back to normal levels as the
machines that were down last week are back
up and running. Milk supplies are manage-
able. Class I and II sales are steady.

Compared to last week, steers and heifers
sold steady to 4.00 lower. Demand at auctions
was moderate to good across the nation. Cattle
sold for delivery months out are also in demand
this week.
On Superior Livestock’s Annual Tallgrass
Auction, a load of 750 lb heifers located in
Kansas for August delivery that had every bell
and whistle associated with them sold at 140.50,
around 20.00 higher than the next load that sold
for current delivery.
USDA announced some changes to the
Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) insurance plan
effective July 1 by allowing ranchers to cover
more of their herd. Some ranchers will utilize
this tool in their marketing plans as more
information is shared.
Feeder cattle futures settlements have
been steadily rising in recent weeks on most
contracts. Boxed beef has been in a lower
trend since May 12, when it was at 475.39. As
of today’s noon report, the drop in value has
been around 261.00, allowing wholesalers and
retailers to stock shelves at lower prices.
Boxed beef load counts are also decreasing.
On Thursday’s noon report, the total load count
was 131 so far today compared to last Thursday
at 181. The morning’s boxed beef prices for
Choice were at 213.56 and 204.08 for Select.
As beef was unavailable in grocery stores
a few weeks ago, consumers turned to local
farmers and ranchers to supply their needs.
Local, custom processing facilities have been
inundated with calls for appointments for
locker beef.
Shoppers were not very happy about the lack
of beef supply and turned to their neighbors
and friends in the livestock industry. Most of the
locker plants are state inspected in the country
and most states do not allow those processors
to sell individual cuts to consumers due to fed-
eral regulations. Some consumers will now be
purchasing quarters, halves or whole carcasses
instead of buying the usual smaller amounts in
a retail setting.
Estimated slaughter under federal inspection
has continued to rise in recent weeks. The
weekly estimate is at 656K head, a slight
decrease of 2K less than last week and 12K less
than a year ago.
The Rural Main Street Index has risen to 37.9
for June. A positive uptick from May at 12.5 and
April at 12.1. For perspective, neutral growth
would be 50.0.
Cattle on Feed Report released today had On
Feed at 100 percent; Placements at 99 percent
and Marketings at 72 percent. Marketings
were the lowest for May since the series began
in 1996.
Auction volume this week included 53
percent weighing over 600 lbs and 41 percent
heifers.
