available at a discount due to unplanned
down time. Contacts report that there is
limited availability at production facilities
due to labor shortages and that limited
tanker availability is prohibiting their ability
to move loads out of state. Demand is
steady across Classes.
Contacts report that milk production
in Arizona is increasing, but that output
remains below 2021 levels. Some processors
report that they are no longer utilizing
milk from outside the state, as supplies are
available locally. Demand for Class I milk is
steady to higher as some larger educational
facilities are returning from spring break.
Demand for Class IV is steady.
In New Mexico farm level milk production
is trending higher, though contacts report
that production is down year over year. Milk
is available in the state to meet current de-
mands. Demand for Class I milk is steady to
lower as spring break season has decreased
educational institution purchasing. Demand
for Class II is steady.
Pacific Northwest milk production is
increasing, following seasonal trends. Class
I demand is lower as some educational in-
stitutions have adjourned for spring break.
Balancing operations in the area are, report-
edly, able to process these additional loads
of milk. Class II and III demand is steady.
Increased milk production in the moun-
tain states of Idaho, Utah, and Colorado is
contributing to greater spot availability.
Some stakeholders in the area report that
loads of milk are being sold from $3 to $5
under Class IV. Plant managers say that they
are unable to run at capacity due to labor
shortages. Across all Classes, demand is
unchanged. Condensed skim contracts are
steady, in the West.
Ice cream makers are scooping up more
loads of cream as they increase production
in preparation for warmer weather. Demand
for cream is strong, and stakeholders say
that spot inventories are tightening. Cream
multiples are unchanged at the bottom,
while the top moved higher.

Compared to last week, steers and heifers
sold steady to 3.00 higher. Demand re-
mains very good for light steers and heifers
to background, either in a feedyard or on
grass, moderate to good demand for the
heavier cattle bound for finishing yards.
The supply of feeders was light to
moderate as weather still impacted
movement in some areas and regardless
of weights, however, quality cattle with
good health programs still fetch quality
checks. Most producers have completed
the marketing of last year’s spring calf crop
as newborn calves hit the ground, resulting
in more limited numbers of feeder cattle
being offered in the auctions. This fact is
keeping the light-weight cattle market in
the driver’s seat as yearling operators that
still need grass cattle to turn out compete
heavily to get these cattle bought.
In addition to feed cost sharply rising, the
CME Live Cattle contracts have retreated,
and cattle feeders are facing difficulty
in buying feeder cattle that will have a
breakeven price in line with where the
futures contracts are at. The lofty levels
of the fall months of the Feeder Cattle
futures are making for a very active and
highly competitive market for cattle to
background and make yearlings of. The
supply of these cattle is dwindling greatly,
driving the markets to higher levels again.
Lack of moisture remains a concern across
a good portion of the country, creating
more worry for these producers as they just
don’t know how much stock they can put
out on drought affected pastures.
Another notable item across the country
is the price of cull cows and bulls, which
are at very high levels. The beef cattle in-
dustry is in contraction mode at this point
and some cows are leaving farms a bit
sooner than they would if price levels were
lower. Higher quality slaughter cows are
reaching regularly into the 90’s with a few
high dressing cows hitting 100.00 per cwt.
High dressing slaughter bulls have climbed
into the mid 130s at some locations as cow
buyers are looking for lean product to mix
in with the fed cattle trimmings.
Negotiated live trading of fed cattle in
the Southern Plains sold steady from the
previous week at 138.00, while dressed
sales in Nebraska sold 1.00 higher at
222.00.
The Boxed beef cutout gained again this
week as sooner or later warm temperatures
will encompass the country and bring on
more BBQ’ing outside. Choice boxed beef
closed the week 4.50 higher at 267.14,
while Select was 10.38 higher at 262.52 for
the same period.
Weekly Cattle Slaughter under federal
inspection estimated at 639K for the week,
20K less than last week and 36K more
than a year ago. Auction volume this week
included 53 percent weighing over 600 lbs
and 46 percent heifers.
