WOODBURN
(Woodburn Livestock Exchange)
Feb. 9
Total Receipts: 220 HD, 220 cattle
Comments: Very few feeder cattle again
this week. High demand for quality feeders
is making the light heifers bring in the $1.40s
and steers in the $1.50s.
Patrons of Woodburn Livestock Exchange: It
is with a heavy heart we are announcing after
80 years in business the Livestock Auction
will be closing its doors. This has been an
agonizing decision for us to make as we have
enjoyed your patronage and friendship over
the past many years. Our last sheep, goat and
hog auction will be held on Monday, Feb. 15,
and our last cattle and poultry auction will be
Tuesday, Feb. 23. In recent months there have
been various rumors of us selling the property
and shutting down. The property is for sale
but is not sold at this time. However, due to
continual declining head counts and rising
costs of doing business, the livestock portion
of our business is no longer viable. Woodburn
Auction Yard will remain in business doing
online-only machinery sales. Our next one is
in April. — Tom and Mary Elder

Fluid Milk and Cream — Western U.S.
Feb. 11
Strong milk production is continuing in
California. Milk shipments and handling
are back to normal following the winter
storm from a couple weeks ago. Contacts
suggest the storm was able to ease some of
the immediate concerns of drought within
the state.
Industry contacts say many dairy proces-
sors are running at or near capacity and are
unable to take on much more milk. In some
cases, milk is diverted to calf ranches when
there is a disturbance at the processing
facility. Class I sales are steady. Class II
demand is solid.
Milk production in Arizona is rising along
typical seasonal patterns. Class I and II
demands are steady and pulling good
volumes. Milk intakes are in good balance
with processing needs.
Manufacturers say they are not seeking
out additional loads of milk.
In New Mexico, milk production is steady
to higher, following seasonal patterns.
Manufacturers have plenty of milk for
processing.
Pacific Northwest milk production is
strong, and components are above levels
from last year. Industry contacts say disrup-
tions at individual plants may create the
temporary need to move milk around the
region, but milk handlers are able to find
homes for the milk without much trouble.
A healthy retail demand is supporting
bottling sales.
Mountain state (Idaho, Utah and
Colorado) milk production is strong. The
abundance of milk in Idaho has kept milk
handlers busy searching out homes for the
milk. In some cases, processors are squeez-
ing the extra milk into their facilities at $4
to $5 under Class IV prices. In Colorado and
Utah, milk production is in better balance
with processing needs.
There is plenty of condensed skim
milk available for drying. In pockets of
the region, industry contacts say a few
manufacturers are considering dumping
buttermilk to preserve dryer time for drying
condensed skim.
Western cream is plentiful, but supply
and demand ebbs and flows daily. There
may be a deluge of cream one day but more
balanced the next, hence the wide range of
cream multiples.
Ice cream production is picking up and
taking up some of the slack. Butter makers
are taking in large volumes. At the end of
the week, cream is often more available as
processor needs are filled for the week. A
few cream handlers are trying to work out
arrangements to ship some of the extra
cream eastward from the West Coast.

Compared to last week, steers and heifers
sold uneven; North Central and South
Central auctions 2.00 lower to 2.00 higher
while the Southeast auctions were 1.00
to 4.00 higher. Demand for grazing calves
was good as backgrounders are looking to
get their orders filled early. These ranchers
want to get those flyweight calves into their
pens early so the health regimen can be
gone through and those calves will be ready
when turnout time gets here this spring.
An Arctic blast is expected to last a week
or more in the Plains states and they are
somewhat used to those bitter conditions in
the Northern Plains and the upper Midwest.
Feed conversion of any calf in the feedyard
this coming week will be drastically
changed from where it has been up to this
point in the winter. The feed bunks will get
their daily fills like normal from the feed
trucks, however, with bitter cold comes the
time when cattle are just trying to survive.
They are burning Mega-calories just for
maintenance, not for growing and gaining
weight.
This week, sales of fed cattle in the South-
ern Plains were 1.00 higher and sold at
114.00 while dressed sales in Nebraska were
steady to 2.00 higher and sold at 178.00 to
180.00. Nearby corn and soybean contracts
were mostly steady on the week, however,
the CME Cattle Complex was higher on the
week as the possibility of physical deliveries
is on the forefront of market watchers with
the Feb LC contract at 2.725 above the cash
price in the feedlots.
Even with the rise in cash cattle price this
week, packer margins have not suffered
much as boxed beef values were relatively
flat this calendar week.
Choice cutout closed 0.63 higher at
234.58, while Select was 1.91 lower at
220.79.
The Choice-Select spread has widened
from the previous week and is now at 13.79.
Cattle Slaughter under federal inspection
estimated at 653K for the week, the same
as last week and 22K more than a year ago.
Auction volume this week included 58
percent weighing over 600 lbs and 42
percent heifers.
