LEBANON

Dec. 16
Receipts: 469 HD cattle, 2 sheep, 1 goat
Comments: Feeder buyers are still willing
to pay a premium for double vaccinated
weaned calves. Unweaned unvaccinated
or poor quality calves can be 20-40 cents a
pound from the top. Young fed cows con-
tinue to top the market with a big spread
to the thin older cows. Buyers starting to
show some good interest in quality bred
cows and pairs.

In the West, condensed skim contracts are
steady. Demand for cream is strong. Some
contacts are anticipating a decline in cream
demand in the coming weeks. Cream is
available in the region. Some purchasers in
other regions, with less cream availability,
are looking to the West to meet current
production needs.

Compared to last week, steers and heifers
sold mixed nationwide this week. Steers and
heifers under 700 lbs in the South-Central
states and all of the Southeast sold steady
to 3.00 higher, while the North Central
region and those over 700 lbs in the South
Central sold weak to 3.00 lower.
Going into the holidays can be volatile
as ranchers would sometimes like to spend
some quality time with families over these
next two weeks instead of looking and
doctoring cattle in the hospital pens.
Receipts this week are typical for the
last full marketing week of a year when
some producers want to sell before winter
weather really gets here. Some will also
defer payment at their local auction markets
to the next year.
Over the next two weeks, livestock
auction volumes will be very limited with
several acknowledging the holidays in front
of them and letting employees rest up for
the receipts that will be substantial the first
full week of 2022. There are several special
cow sales scheduled across the Plains the
next two weeks for an opportunity for cow/
calf producers to make financial moves they
feel necessary for 2021.
Good demand remains for most weights
of feeder cattle and the best demand
remains on yearling cattle that will finish
this spring. Those types of cattle are getting
harder to find and they must be heavier
weights to meet that requirement of finish-
ing before mid-May.
Cash fed cattle have come off the highs
they posted two weeks ago and are still at a
premium to the December futures contract.
The weather continues to be quite odd
for mid-December, considering the derecho
that moved through the middle part of the
country. With near 100 mph gusts reported
in the West central part of Kansas, wildfires
burned upwards of 400,000 acres. Farmers
and ranchers in its path were devastated
with many structures (many homes) burned
to the ground and numerous cattle perish-
ing in the large fire.
Ranchers are a resilient bunch, and they
will pull through. But winter is here, and the
shorter days make it harder to get repairs
done.
The CME Cattle complex has seen better
weeks; December Live Cattle 2.100 lower on
the week while the front two Feeder Cattle
months (Jan and Mar) were 4.625 and 3.600
lower for the week.
Negotiated live trading of fed cattle in the
Southern Plains sold 2.00 lower from the
previous week at 138.00, while dressed sales
in Nebraska sold 2.00 lower at 218.00.
Cutout prices continue to be under
pressure as this was the last full week of
slaughter before the holidays. Choice boxed
beef closed the week 1.53 lower at 263.01,
while Select was 3.96 lower at 248.28 for the
same period.
Weekly Cattle Slaughter under federal
inspection estimated at 657K for the week,
9K less than last week, and 2K more than
a year ago.
Next week on Wednesday, the complete
list of cold storage inventory items will be
released by USDA National Agricultural
Statistics Service (NASS). In addition, the
latest Cattle on Feed data will be published
on Thursday. Go to https://www.nass.usda.
gov/ after 3:00 PM ET on Wednesday and
Thursday to retrieve the most recent data.
On behalf of the Livestock, Poultry and
Grain Market News, we would like to wish
safe and happy holiday season. This will be
the last National Feeder Cattle summary
published for 2021. May you have a very
blessed New Year!
Auction volume this week included 45
percent weighing over 600 lbs and 41
