DAVENPORT
(Stockland Livestock Auction)
Aug. 22
Comments: Monday’s cattle sale featured a
good run of cows and bulls, and a light test of
feeder cattle as harvest and haying are in full
swing in eastern Washington. Cull cows were
steady, averaging 94 cents per pound, with a
top price of $1.00 per pound. Slaughter bulls
also held steady, with a top price of $1.18 and
an average of $1.13-$1.15. Light calves sold well
today, with 400-500 weight heifers bringing up
to $1.73, and averaging $1.64, with same weight
steers bringing $1.86. Not enough bigger calves
and yearlings for a test, though demand for 750
to 900 weight cattle remains strong. We will not
have a sale on Monday, Sept. 5, in observance of
the Labor Day holiday.

Fluid Milk and Cream — Western U.S.
Aug. 25
Throughout California milk output is
mixed. High temperatures in some parts of
the state are having a negative impact on
production, while contacts in some areas say
milk output is steady.
The NASS Milk Production report released
on Aug. 22 showed July production was up
by 2.2 percent from 2021. Milk is available for
processing in the state, and some stakehold-
ers say they are moving additional loads of
milk to other states where supplies are tight-
er. Class I demand is trending higher, while
demands for Class II and III are unchanged.
In Arizona high temperatures continue to
have a negative impact on milk production.
Some milk processors in the state say local
volumes are sufficient to meet production
needs, while others are bringing loads from
nearby states. Demand for Class I is trending
higher due to increased educational purchas-
ing. Meanwhile, demands for Class II and III
are unchanged.
Milk production is steady to lower in New
Mexico. The NASS Milk Production report
released data on August 22 showing that July
milk output was down in New Mexico by 8.1
percent from last year. Processors in the plant
are bringing loads of milk in from other parts
of the region to meet current production
needs. Demand is steady across all Classes.
High temperatures in the Pacific Northwest
are contributing to a continued decline in
milk output. Contacts report milk production
is below previously forecasted levels. Despite
this, processors can obtain milk locally to
meet their production needs. Some plant
managers say they are running reduced
production schedules due to labor shortages.
Contacts report these reduced schedules are
contributing to increased milk availability.
Across all Classes, demand is unchanged.
Milk production is declining in the moun-
tain states of Idaho, Utah, and Colorado.
Contacts say seasonally high temperatures
are reducing cow comfort and having a neg-
ative impact on milk output. Milk volumes
are available for processing. Milk is being
sold at a discount in the area; some plant
managers say this is due to labor shortages
and limited tanker availability. Increased
educational purchasing is contributing to
higher Class I demand. Meanwhile, demands
for Classes II and III are unchanged. Demand
for condensed skim is strong. Contacts say
contract purchasers are pulling near the
higher ends of their availability.
Ice cream makers are purchasing con-
densed skim and cream to running busy
production schedules. Cream inventories are
tightening amid strong demand and declin-
ing cream production. High cream multiples
and labor shortages have caused some
butter makers in the region to sell additional
loads of cream in recent weeks. Cream multi-
ples are unchanged in the West.
