Dairy Report

Fluid Milk and Cream — Western U.S.
Dec. 29
In California, farm level milk production
is steady to higher. Class I demand is steady
to lower as educational purchasing has
slowed due to winter school breaks. Class
II demand has declined; some producers
are, reportedly, running lighter year-end
production schedules.
Arizona milk production is steady. Strong
demand for milk supplies is present as
producers are running busy schedules to
meet current market demands. Purchasing
is steady across all classes.
Farm level milk production is steady
in New Mexico. Some producers in the
Southwest are reportedly running reduced
schedules due to staffing shortages and a
shortage of truck drivers. Demand for Class I
and II milk is steady.
In the Pacific Northwest, milk production
is steady. Extreme weather has reportedly
caused some producers to dump milk as
they are unable to move supplies from
farms to production facilities. Milk produc-
ers in the area who were previously moving
loads to Canada say that these deliveries
have dried up. Demand for Class I milk has
declined, while Class III demand is steady.
Farm level milk production is steady to
higher in the mountain states of Idaho,
Utah, and Colorado. Producers in this area
say that they do not expect the current
inclement weather to negatively affect milk
production. Milk supplies are available to
meet the steady demand across all classes.
In the West, condensed skim contracts
are steady. Demand for cream has declined
throughout the region as some Class II
producers are running shortened year-end
schedules. Cream is available, though some
deliveries are facing delays due to a short-
age of truck drivers and severe weather.

RECEIPTS:
This Week

294,000
327,000
305,900
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 require-
ment of finishing 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 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.
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!
