Fluid Milk and Cream — Western U.S.
April 15
Milk production in California is steady and
following seasonal patterns. Rate of increase
seems to be slowing, leading some industry
contacts to believe output is hitting peak fl ush
this week. Class I demand is steady. The spot
market is tight, and milk sale outlets are still
limited on fi nding open drying capacity.
Class I demand is high in Arizona. Some pro-
cessors are bringing in milk from out of state.
Local cream supply is tightening a little as the
weather warms up, but temperatures dropped
slightly this week. Cows are comfortable in
this respite from the heat, and milk output
is ample.
Milk output in New Mexico is steady, and
Class I orders are fl at. Holdover numbers are
high but dropping as balancing plants main-
tain active schedules to work through heavy
volumes of milk.
Component levels are high and milk produc-
tion is up in the Pacifi c Northwest. However,
much of the additional output is being ab-
sorbed. Oregon public schools are refi lling
pipelines as in-person instruction resumes,
and bottling operations are playing catchup
following the shortage of milk jug resin.
Cow comfort is optimal in the mountain
states of Idaho, Utah, and Colorado. Milk
production is increasing. Bottling is steady,
and other dairy manufacturing activity is high.
Contracted condensed skim is steady; spot
sales, and requests for spot sales, are limited.
Western cream is plentiful. Some is moving
out of the region, but limited tanker availabil-
ity prevents heavier volumes from traveling
east. Cream demand is leveling off ; industry
contacts anticipating more pullback after the
spring holidays have relayed that this has not
happened yet. Cream multiples for all classes
are steady.

Compared to last week, steers and heifers
sold 1.00 to 3.00 lower, with the exception
of steers and heifers in the Southeast region
being steady to 2.00 higher.
Cattle producers are being inventive in ways
to cut cost of gains as they see current ration
costs just skyrocket compared to what they
were a year ago. Corn prices in major produc-
ing areas are near double from a year ago with
distillers prices about the same. Last summer
distillers prices traded signifi cantly lower than
the yearly high realized in April.
Backgrounders continue to fi ght for cattle
that have a high probability of providing the
new owner compensatory gain.
On Wednesday at Huss Livestock Market
(Kearney NE), a part-load of 705 lb steers that
will be going to grass sold at 171.50.
As the CME Cattle Complex moved lower,
negotiated cash fed cattle moved higher.
Ultimately, the convergence of futures and
cash stopped the tendering of certifi cates for
CME Live Cattle Delivery. This week, the April
Live Cattle contract was 2.575 lower to close
at 120.85, with cash cattle trading mostly on
Thursday and Friday at 120.00 to 121.00 in the
Southern Plains. So far this month, there were
119 loads tendered for delivery, with 74 loads
of those actually delivered (the balance being
reclaimed the week after tendering).
The Feeder Cattle contracts were the hardest
hit this week with the April through August
contracts being over 5.00 lower for the week
and the September through November
contracts being between 4.00 and 5.00 lower
on the week.
The August Feeder contract has now
retraced downward to closing prices posted
the week of March 15.
Demand for beef continues to rally the
Choice and Select boxes and beef packer
margins are soaring to year ago levels as
cash fed cattle prices are not surging as fast
as wholesale beef prices. Choice boxed beef
values closed the week 3.88 higher at 276.05,
while Select was 5.03 higher at 269.10. The
Choice-Select spread was published at 6.95.
Steer dressed weight for week ending April
3, 2021 was reported at 894 lbs, 5 lbs lower
than the previous week and only 5 lbs heaver
than a year ago.
Cattle Slaughter under federal inspection
estimated at 640K for the week, 1K less than
last week, and 154K more than a year ago.
Auction volume this week included 53 percent
weighing over 600 lbs and 45 percent heifers.
