Fluid Milk and Cream — Western U.S.
July 8
California milk production is decreas-
ing. Yields are lower than forecast,
however, plenty of milk is readily
available for current demands. Bottling
orders are flat to lower. Class III demand
has picked up.
Milk output in Arizona is declining
in the summer heat. Some handlers
are bringing milk in from out of state
to meet manufacturing needs. Class I
orders are lower. Contacts anticipate or-
ders will increase soon as the school year
will begin for some districts later this
month, and those pipelines will need to
be filled. Demands for Class II and Class
III are level.
In parts of New Mexico, recent heavy
rains have helped to stave off further
drought deterioration while also result-
ing in some flash flooding. Milk output is
steady. Class I and III orders are higher.
Hot weather in the Pacific Northwest
last week has led to a bigger drop in milk
production than some handlers were ex-
pecting. Additionally, recent reports in-
dicate parts of Oregon are experiencing
some of the driest conditions since 1895,
and Washington’s forage production is
significantly impacted by limited topsoil
moisture. Contacts say feed cuttings
have been reduced; some farmers may
already be done cutting due to the hot,
dry conditions. Class I orders are lower.
Class II and Class III orders are steady.
Milk production is steady in the moun-
tain states of Idaho, Utah and Colorado.
Despite reports that worsening drought
conditions in Idaho are expanding areas
of crop loss and forage tightness, milk is
still widely available. Contacts relay find-
ing spot loads at discounts of up to $6.00
under Class III. Bottling orders are higher.
Condensed skim contracts are steady.
Cream is tighter in the West this week.
Demand is mixed throughout the region.
Some contacts report lower cream
demand due to holiday plant closures
on Monday. Other manufacturers are
offering competitive bids to secure addi-
tional cream to make up for unplanned
downtime after refrigeration issues and
unplanned heat-related closures last
week. Cream multiples inched up at the
top of the range this week.

Compared to last week, steers and heifers
sold 2.00 to 6.00 higher in auctions in the
Southeast and South-Central states. The
North-Central region would be called sharply
higher after not many sales occurred the week
prior to the July 4 holiday and several BBQ
specials on the calendar brought handsome
prices this week to consignors.
Yearlings and calves alike sold in moderate
to good demand nationwide this week as buy-
ers were willing to fill pens with limited sales
again this week. The Bassett Livestock (NE)
BBQ sale had some striking prices reported
from Wednesday as buyers were active in the
seats as well as online bidding. Three loads of
763 lb steers notated with the Non-Hormone
Treated Cattle Program description sold at
176.75 and another three loads of NHTC steers
weighing 847 lbs sold at 167.25.
Even steers weighing over 1000 lbs were
in demand in Bassett with over six loads
averaging 1005 lbs sold at a weighted average
of 151.06.
Beef cows continue to come to slaughter
in the North Central part of the country as
drought persists. Some auctions are having
replacement stock sales as some of those
Dakota origin cows are making their way
south and east where moisture has been more
prevalent this growing season.
Feeder cattle auction receipts are typical
for this time of year as most sales are on their
summer schedules and in another month or
two, calf sales will be upon the industry.
Live Cattle futures struggled to find support
this week as Negotiated cash cattle traded
lower in the Southern Plains this week at
119.00 to 120.00 and the front two months of
Live Cattle futures were 2.50 to 2.775 lower for
the week. Feeder Cattle futures found support
as they were more than 2.00 higher on the
week, while new-crop corn closed more than
62 cents lower this week.
Boxed beef values continue to slide, and this
week has been no different than the last four
weeks. Choice boxed beef closed the week
6.85 lower at 278.59, while Select was 7.00
lower at 257.41 for the same period. On Friday
afternoon, the Choice-Select spread was
reported at 21.18.
Weekly Cattle Slaughter under federal
inspection estimated at 582K for the week,
44K less than last week, and 67K less than a
year ago. Auction volume this week included
63 percent weighing over 600 lbs and 40
percent heifers.
