Comment: Extreme dry conditions will send
cattle to market early this year. If you have cows
and bulls to cull the earlier the better. Now more
than ever before a proper vaccination program
for your calves will help them bring more money.
Buyers are requesting vaccination records on the
calves. Some buyers are taking a firm pass on
unvaccinated cattle this year. Call us and we can
share a proper vaccination protocol.

Fluid Milk and Cream — Western U.S.
July 22
California milk production is following
seasonal patterns and declining. Contacts
say milk supplies are in good balance with
dairy manufacturing demands. Bottling
orders are lower. Class II sales are steady to
stronger.
Farm-level milk production is decreasing
in Arizona. Some K-12 institutions are
beginning the new school year this month,
and Class I demand is picking up as that
pipeline refills. Class II and III orders are
level.
Milk flows are declining in New Mexico.
Bottling sales are flat. Balancing plants are
active, and Class III demand is steady.
In the Pacific Northwest, milk production
is decreasing. While the heat-related drops
have been greater than expected in parts
of Washington, milk supply is in good
correlation with demand overall. Although
potential drops in milk production due to
future high temperatures have been the
topic of discussion for some handlers, con-
tacts say current output levels are expected
to hold for a while. Class I orders are lower.
Class II and III demand are steady.
Milk is widely available throughout
the mountain states of Idaho, Utah and
Colorado. Some contacts report spot loads
in Idaho at discounts of up to $5.00 to
$5.50 under Class III. Bottling sales are
higher. Balancing is heavy, and some market
participants note that Class III demand is
stronger than they usually see this time of
year. Condensed skim contracts are steady.
Cream is tighter, but flattening demand
is helping to keep pressure from building
in the market. Butter and cream cheese
production are steady.
CALIFORNIA MARKET ORDER: Milk pooled
on the California Order 51 totaled 1.929 bil-
lion pounds in June 2021. Class I utilization
was 369.2 million pounds and accounted for
about 19.1% of producer milk.
The uniform price was $17.30, up $0.57
from May 2021, and $4.17 above the same
month a year ago.

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold
uneven; 1.00 lower to 3.00 higher. Demand on
weaned calves and yearlings has not waned in
the dog days of summer. Fall calves that are not
weaned for 45 days and don’t have a vaccination
record are only being met with moderate
demand.
Many feeder heifers found their way to town
in the Northern Plains this summer as ranchers
try and figure a way out to keep their nucleus
cow herd intact as the drought persists. As those
heifers that were destined for replacement
found their way to a feedyard, spayed heifers
in Nebraska have been selling just a few dollars
back of their brothers.
On Wednesday at Bassett (NE) Livestock
Auction, two strings of 827 lb and 843 lb spayed
heifers sold at 156.50 and 156.00, respectively.
Some anecdotal rainfall amounts of less than
1.5 inches out of central South Dakota from
June 2020 to June 2021 would leave anyone to
wonder what kind of forage could survive those
conditions.
Boxed beef found support levels around
265.00 mid-week amid a six-week consecutive
drop from 340.55 reported on June 3, 2021.
Choice boxed beef closed the week 1.31 lower at
266.63, while Select was 1.85 lower at 249.94.
On Friday afternoon, the Choice-Select spread
was reported at 16.69.
Negotiated live trading of fed cattle in the
Southern Plains sold 1.00 lower from the
previous week at 119.00, while dressed sales in
Nebraska sold 1.00 to 2.00 lower from 195.00
to 200.00.
Margins continue to bring profits to the
bottom line of packers even with the multi-week
drop in boxed beef values. Packers are business-
men and they are very sharp when it comes to
keeping the pencil pointed.
Market watchers and participants alike
are aware of the availability of market-ready
supplies in the third and fourth quarters of the
year and packers are outstanding at inventory
management.
In the first six months of 2021, negotiated
cash transactions with a 15- to 30-day delivery
period has averaged around 30 percent of the
total negotiated transactions. This is the largest
six-month percent average (January-June or
July-December) since the 15-30 delivery data
series started in period started in early 2010.
Weekly Cattle Slaughter under federal inspec-
tion estimated at 652K for the week, 1K less than
last week, and 12K more than a year ago. The
Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above the
35,000 level on Friday for the first time in history
after a sharp drop on Monday. The index had
flirted with closing above that level for almost
the entire previous week.
On Friday the Cattle On Feed number quoted
for July 1, 2021 at 99 percent of a year ago;
Placements at 93 percent and Marketings at
103 percent.
The weight group with the largest decline
in placements for June was in the under 600
lb category. According to the Cattle report
published Friday by NASS, there were 101 million
head of cattle and calves on U.S. farms as of July
1, 2021. Of that total, NASS tallied 31.4 million
head of beef cows in the United States, down 2
pct from last year. Beef replacement heifers were
also reportedly down 2 pct as well.
On Thursday’s Cold Storage report, total red
meat supplies in freezers were down 4 percent
from the previous month and down 8 percent
from last year. Total pounds of beef in freezers
were down 4 percent from the previous month
and down 7 percent from last year. Frozen pork
supplies were down 4 percent from the previous
month and down 4 percent from last year.
Auction volume this week included 56 percent
weighing over 600 lbs and 41 percent heifer.
