Receipts: 424 HD total: 419 HD cattle
Comments: The cow market was off $5 this
week. It appears the Texas drought and big
cow numbers are forcing cows to western U.S.
packers, meaning competition for rail space.
For the first time in a couple of months we
have cows left over from last week. Feeder
market an extremely short test on light cattle.

Fluid Milk and Cream — Western U.S.
July 21
Milk output is steady to lower in California.
Some contacts report no change in milk
production this week, while others say higher
temperatures and dry weather are contrib-
uting to declining volumes. Stakeholders say
farm level milk production is above previously
forecasted levels. Milk remains available for
processing. Customers in nearby states, where
milk inventories are tighter, are looking to
California for available loads. Steady demand
is present for all Classes.
Cow comfort in Arizona is being negatively
affected by high temperatures. Contacts
report this is contributing to lighter milk pro-
duction. Milk inventories are tight, and some
plant managers are sourcing milk from other
states. Demand for Class I is trending higher,
while demand is steady for all other Classes.
Farm level milk production is steady to
lower in New Mexico. Stakeholders say milk
remains tight in the state, and some proces-
sors are purchasing milk from other states.
Contacts report steady demand for all Classes.
Overall milk output in the Pacific Northwest
is steady to higher, despite higher tempera-
tures causing a decline in some areas. Milk
inventories are available for processing in the
area, and some plant managers are selling
excess loads to other parts of the region
where availability is tighter. Class I demand
is steady, while demand for Class II and III is
trending higher.
Milk production is steady in the mountain
states of Idaho, Utah and Colorado. Plant
managers say spot loads are available and
some are shipping loads to customers in other
parts of the country. Loads are, reportedly,
being traded for a low as $6 under Class IV.
Demand is steady across all Classes. Demand
for condensed skim remains strong in the
West. Contacts report contract purchasers are
pulling at the higher end of the availability
and some spot purchasers are looking for
additional loads.
Cream inventories are tightening in the West
as ice cream and butter makers are purchasing
loads to run busy production schedules. West-
ern cream multiples are steady at the bottom,
while the top moved higher.

Compared to last week, steers and heifers
sold weak to 2.00 lower in the Southeast while
the North-Central and South-Central areas
sold 1.00 to 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate
to good for feeder cattle immediately destined
for feedyards, while demand for calves was
mostly light to moderate as this summer’s
heat is turning up the dial with many places in
MO, OK, KS and TX having triple digit tempera-
tures without figuring in the heat index.
As reported in OK, the summer feeder
run appears to be getting close to finishing
as those cattle move off dry grass. The cow
runs continue to be the talk of the market as
cow-calf states are feeling the brunt of limited
moisture in the last 6 months to a year, some
states longer than that.
Friday’s inventory report showed all cattle
and calves down two percent at 98.8 million
head. All cows and heifers that have calved
was estimated at 39.8 million head, two
percent less than a year ago. Of that total,
beef cows were estimated at 30.4 million head
and milk cows at 9.45 million head. If realized,
this would be the second lowest beef cow
inventory in 50 years.
All heifers 500 pounds and over came in at
15.6 million head. Steers 500 pounds and over
were down one percent at 14.4 million head.
Bulls 500 pounds and over were unchanged
at 2 million head. Calves under 500 pounds
totaled 27 million head, three percent less than
last year. This year’s calf crop is estimated at 34.6
million head, one percent less than a year ago.
This month’s cattle on feed report was also
published on Friday. Cattle on feed on July 1
was estimated at 11.3 million head, slightly
higher than a year ago. Of that total, 6.9
million were steers, one percent less than last
year and 4.45 million head were heifers, three
percent more than a year ago.
Marketings for June totaled 2.06 million
head, two percent more than a year ago. Total
red meat supplies in freezers were down 1
percent from the previous month but up 24
percent from last year. Total pounds of beef in
freezers were down 2 percent from the previ-
ous month but up 29 percent from last year.
Negotiated cash fed cattle trade in the
Nebraska sold at 139.50-143.00, while the
dressed sales sold at 227.00. Live sales in the
Southern Plains were reported 1.00 lower at
136.00.
Choice boxed beef closed the week 1.79
lower at 267.12, while Select was 0.71 higher
at 242.50 for the same period. Weekly Cattle
Slaughter under federal inspection estimated
at 665K for the week, 9K less than last week
and 10K more than a year ago.
Auction volume this week included 47
percent weighing over 600 lbs and 43 percent
heifers.
