Dairy Report

Fluid Milk and Cream — Western U.S.
Dec. 22
California farm level milk production
is trending higher. Demand for bottling
has declined; contacts report that winter
school breaks have caused a decrease in
educational purchasing. Some Class II pro-
ducers have reduced purchasing as they
are, reportedly, running lighter year-end
production schedules.
Milk production is steady to higher in
Arizona. Milk supplies are being utilized by
producers who are working to meet strong
holiday demand. Demand has softened
for Class I and Class II, while steady for
Class III.
In New Mexico, milk production is un-
changed. Steady demand is present across
all classes. Delays to milk production
supplies and staffing shortages are causing
some Southwestern production facilities to
run reduced schedules.
Farm level milk production is trending
higher in the Pacific Northwest. Stake-
holders say that recent weather has
been favorable to milkers in the area.
Some milk from the Pacific Northwest
is being sent to Canada to help in areas
recently hit with inclement weather. Class
I demand is down, while Class III demand
is unchanged.
In the mountain states of Idaho, Utah
and Colorado milk production is trending
higher. Producers in the area are finding
milk available to meet current market
needs as demand is steady across all class-
es. Condensed skim contracts are steady,
in the West. Cream demand is declining as
some Class II producers in the region are
running shortened year-end schedules.
Cream is becoming more available; some
stakeholders in the region report sending
loads to other regions. Western cream
multiples moved lower this week.

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 produc-
ers 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 ac-
knowledging 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 finishing before mid-May.
Cash fed cattle have come off the highs they
posted two weeks ago and are still at a premi-
um 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 struc-
tures (many homes) burned to the ground and
numerous cattle perishing 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 inspec-
tion 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.
