LEBANON
(Lebanon Auction Yard)
April 29
Receipts: 464 cattle
Comment: We are in desperate need of
more rain. Pastures are exceptionally dry for
this time of year and it’s starting to show in
the feeder cattle and the cow-calf market.
Less interest in cattle that usually go back
to grass. The corn market is really making
an impact in the yearling cattle. With the
high cost of gain expected to continue they
desperately want to buy the feedlot cattle
for less. We are now experiencing COVID
problems with labor in the packing plants
again and it’s backing the cattle up. The
organic cows continue to sell extremely well.
It’s amazing what competition does for the
market.

Receipts: 371 HD
Comments: Monday’s regular cattle sale
featured over 350 head of stock, with a nice
run of cows, bulls and feeders. Slaughter
cows and bulls were $3-$7 lower on Monday,
with an influx of cows coming up from
drought stricken California increasing the
supply and decreasing demand for cows lo-
cally. Cows topped out at 65 cents per pound
for slaughter, and feeder cows brought up
to 79 cents per pound. The average on cows
was 58-60 cents per pound. Slaughter bulls
brought up to 91 cents per pound, with
an average price of 85 cents. Feeder cattle
were lower on an uneven supply, with not
enough of any one class for a true market
test. 700-800 weight steers were stronger for
the local market, bringing up to $1.34, with
an average of $1.29, and 800 to 900 weight
steers brought $1.30.

Dairy Report

Fluid Milk and Cream — Western U.S.
May 6
California milk production is steady.
Class I orders are level. Class II is absorbing
additional fluid milk due to seasonal pro-
duction of ice cream and frozen desserts.
In Arizona, milk output is strong, and so
is Class I demand. Dairy processors with
available bottling or drying capacity are
bringing in additional milk from the moun-
tain states. Hearty Class II and III orders are
supporting active ice cream and cheese
manufacturing.
Milk supply is even in New Mexico. Bal-
ancing plants are working through large
volumes of milk, and holdover numbers
are decreasing. Contacts report that Class I
demand is down slightly, Class II demand is
flat, but Class III demand is growing due to
increased cheese production.
There is an abundance of milk in the
Pacific Northwest. Milk output is strong,
and regional dairy processors are also
helping to clear milk that would have gone
to the Oregon creamery that was recently
damaged by fire. Class I demand is strong.
Industry contacts say that the milk jug
resin shortage appears to be resolved and
is no longer a hindrance to bottling.
Milk production is stable in the mountain
states of Idaho, Utah, and Colorado. Class
I orders are level. Contracted condensed
skim is steady, but local spot load requests,
and availability, are reported to be limited.
Persistent tanker and driver shortages are
a barrier to moving condensed skim into
other regions.
Western cream is tightening a little, but
supply is adequate for current demand.
While cream cheese and ice cream
production is strong, and butter churns are
seasonally active, there is not much excess
cream coming into facilities. This week,
cream multiples for all classes inched up
one point at the top of the range.

Again this week, the rise in feedstuff
prices is on the mind of every rancher
from the Southern Plains to High Plains to
the Southeast. The current drought map
looks much different than that of a year
ago. Last year, the map showed no area
in the country being in the exceptional
drought designation (D4); whereas this
year, 9.4 percent of the country is in that
category. The Extreme drought (D3)
category currently is at 22.6 percent while
last year was less than 1 percent. The large
grain producing state of Iowa is currently
showing over 78 percent in some type of
drought designation.
With the runup in grain prices due to
concerns over grain ending stock, sub-
stantial rainfall has been spotty this spring
and the calendar hasn’t turned to summer
yet. New Crop December corn futures
were 0.7275 higher this week after being
0.6725 higher in the combined previous
three weeks.
New crop November Soybean futures
were 0.9375 higher for the week; 0.7650
higher for the previous three weeks.
August Feeder Cattle contract was 2.475
lower for the week while the September
was 3.225 lower.Cumulatively for the past
four weeks, the August FC Contract was
12.53 lower.
Negotiated cash fed cattle in the South-
ern Plains was lightly tested this week at
mostly 119.00.
Dressed sales in Nebraska sold at 188.00
to 190.00. Demand for beef continues to
push the cutout higher as the Memorial
Day, Father’s Day and Independence Day
buying is happening. Choice boxed beef
values closed the week 9.38 higher at
305.88, while Select was 7.22 higher at
290.27.
The Choice-Select spread widened this
week and was published at 15.61.
Steer dressed weight for week ending
April 24, 2021 was reported at 896 lbs, 2
lbs less than the previous week and 5 lbs
heavier than a year ago.
Cattle Slaughter under federal inspection
estimated at 638K for the week, 11K less
than last week, and 162K more than a
year ago. Year-to-Date cattle slaughter is
estimated at near 4.8 percent more than a
year ago, currently.
Auction volume this week included 53
percent weighing over 600 lbs and 44
percent heifers.
