Slaughter cows topped out at $1.09 per pound, a high we haven’t seen in many years, and cows averaged 92 cents per pound. Strong demand leading up to the 4th of July holiday along with higher demand for hamburger due to increased prices of steaks seems to be pushing prices up for cull cows. I expect prices to remain strong up to the week before the 4th before settling back a bit. Slaughter bulls were also higher, up to $1.23, though could have been up to 10 cents more on higher yielding bulls. Not enough feeder cattle for a good market test, though there was strong demand for smaller 1-3 head lots for pasture cattle. A good group of black 650 pound heifers sold for $1.40.

Con- tacts say post-peak flush milk volumes are still plentiful. In-state demand is surpassed by supply, and some milk spot loads are moving out of state. Class I demand is level. Class II and III orders are steadily strong, with some dairy processing plants operating at or near capacity. Milk flows in Arizona continue to decline. Class I sales are lower; some bottling plants are reducing milk orders due to plant downtime and lower food service demand. These cuts are freeing up milk for balancing operations, enabling some dairy processors to meet production needs without having to bring in milk from other states. Milk demands are steady to stronger for all other Classes. New Mexico’s milk output is waning in the dry summer heat. Bottling sales are stable. Class II demand is steady to higher, and contacts say production is steady, but not stressed, for balancing operations. In the Pacific Northwest, milk produc- tion is level to slightly increasing. Class I demand is firm. Cheesemaking is very active, keeping Class III sales elevated. Although some parts of Oregon are experiencing drought conditions, recent reports indicate other areas of the state have received over 40 inches of rain so far this year. Soggy fields, resulting from heavier than average precipita- tion, are causing some delays for dairy farmers trying to plant corn and harvest forages. Farm level milk output is flat through- out the mountain states of Idaho, Utah and Colorado. Bottling sales are steady. Demand is unchanged for all other Classes. Demand for condensed skim remains firm. Loads are available to sat- isfy contract and spot needs. Some end users are purchasing additional spot loads on top of contracted loads. Cream demand is fairly steady across the West, but spot availability varies. In the heat of the Southwest, cream is tight and some contacts report limited spot load offers. Farther north, market participants say cream is more available, but high freight costs and limited truck/driver availability hamper its movement in some cases. Ice cream manufacturing is seasonally active. Western cream multiples are holding firm on the bottom of the range this week, but the top of the range inched higher. Cattle Market Reports Compiled by USDA Market News Service • Oklahoma City-Des Moines-St. Joseph, Mo.-Moses Lake, Wash. NATIONAL FEEDER AND STOCKER CATTLE (Federal-State Market News) St. Joseph, Mo. June 27 RECEIPTS This Week Last Week Last Year 187,800 210,100 214,500 Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher. The supply of feeders was light to moderate. Heat continued to impact market receipts, although this is typical as this is generally the slower time of the year for marketing. There will be a few special sales over the next few weeks as barns hold special yearling sales for backgrounders that retain ownership to this point or put together loads of cattle to make some heavier weight yearlings to hit the market specifically at this time knowing supplies are light. Demand for yearlings is good, calf demand depends hugely on condition and health risk. Perhaps not as extreme as it is when the fall temperature swings occur, but extreme heat is also a huge risk to cattle and not conducive to easy weight gain. Cattle on Feed Report was released Friday afternoon with On Feed at 102 percent; Placements at 98 percent. Marketings were 102 percent. The June 1 On Feed number is the largest since the series started in 1996 and the fifth month in a row with the largest on feed for the data series. Negotiated cash fed cattle trade in the Nebraska continues to be at the forefront of the market with the bulk of live sales trading steady to 3.00 higher at 145.00 to 150.00, while the dressed sales there were 4.00 higher at 234.00. Live sales in the Southern Plains were reported at mostly 137.00 unevenly steady to 3.00 lower than the previous week. Boxed-beef prices leveled off some- what this week. Choice boxed beef closed the week 1.28 lower at 264.98, while Select was 1.51 lower at 245.02 for the same period. Weekly Cattle Slaughter under federal inspection estimated at 666K for the week, 1K less than last week and 6K more than a year ago.
