Receipts: 356 HD
Comments: Monday’s regular cattle sale fea-
tured over 350 head, with a good supply of cows
and bulls and a good run of pairs. Slaughter
cows were stronger, with a top of 78 cents per
pound, and an average price of 66 to 67 cents.
Slaughter bulls were steady, topping out at 98
cents, and an average of 88-93 cents per pound.
Cow calf pairs were just above splitting price,
with mid age and older cows with fresh calves
at side bringing $1050-1150 per pair. Young
pairs with fresh calves brought $1150-$1250
per pair. Pairs with bigger calves at side were
split. Baby calves brought $200-$475 per head.
Not enough feeder cattle for a true test, though
600-700 weight steers brought $1.44, with an
average of $1.29, while heifers brought $1.14 to
$1.20. Next Monday, May 24, we’ll have a feeder
special and we will be off the following week for
Memorial Day.

Dairy Report
Compiled by USDA Market News Service • Madison, Wis.
Fluid Milk and Cream — Western U.S.
May 27
Milk is steady and flat in California. Class
I orders are down, but Class III demand is
increasing. A drought emergency has been
declared in 41 of California’s 58 counties.
There are some reports of dairy farmers
fallowing fields that would have been used
to grow feed and focusing available water
on other, more permanent, crops.
Conditions vary by farm, however, and
milk production does not yet appear to be
significantly impacted.
In Arizona, milk production and Class
I demand are steady. In addition to local
milk, dairy manufacturers with available
capacity have also been working through a
steady supply of out of state milk.
Milk output in New Mexico is flat. Class I
and II demand are down a little.
Milk is heavy in the Pacific Northwest.
Double-digit overbase programs are work-
ing to help keep the abundance in check.
Class I demand is level, and some bottling
plants are operating at capacity.
Weather is favorable for cow comfort in
the mountain states of Idaho, Utah and
Colorado, and milk production is strong.
Bottling orders are flat. Class III sales are
healthy. Contracted condensed skim is
steady, and limited spot loads are available
around flat class pricing.
Available cream supplies are meeting
dairy manufacturing demands. Butter pro-
duction is seasonally lower, but generous
volumes of cream are being absorbed by
active ice cream and cream cheese produc-
tion. This week, cream multiples dropped
one point at the top of the range.
