U.S. Increased Corn Use For Ethanol Estimated
15.06.2010 12:33 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
Weekly Cattle Outlook, 11 July 2010, a weekly review of the US cattle industry, written by Glenn Grimes and Ron Plain.
USDAs June supply and demand estimates increased forecasted corn use for ethanol and reduced the expected corn carryover. They are currently forecasting that 34.7 per cent of the 2009 corn crop and 35.2 per cent of the 2010 corn crop will be milled for ethanol. USDA is predicting an average farm price for corn in the neighborhood of $3.55/bu for the 2009 crop and $3.60/bu for the 2010 crop.
USDA lowered their forecast of 2010 red meat production by 0.6 per cent (beef down 0.7 per cent and pork down 0.5 per cent). They also lowered their forecast of 2010 prices (steers down $2/cwt and live hogs down $0.50/cwt from last months forecast).
Beef exports during April were up 30 per cent compared to 12 months earlier. Beef imports were down 23 per cent. In April, 1.2 pounds of beef were imported for each pound exported. During the first four months of 2010 beef exports were up 26 per cent and imports down 20 per cent compared to the same period last year. January-April exports to Mexico, our biggest foreign customer, were down 6 per cent but shipments to Canada, Japan and South Korea (foreign customers number 2, 3 and 4) were up 17 per cent, 30 per cent and 39 per cent, respectively. Exports to Hong Kong and Taiwan are also up but shipments to Vietnam are down. Beef imports from Canada were up 7 per cent in the first third of the year but shipments from Australia, New Zealand Uruguay and Brazil are down.
Export demand for beef was up 38 per cent in April. During the first four months of 2010 export demand is up 29 per cent compared to January-April 2009.
On Friday morning, the choice boxed beef carcase cutout value was $1.5337/pound, down 7.36 cents for the week, but still 14.86 cents higher than last year. The select cutout was down 6.96 cents from the previous Friday to $1.4551 per pound.
Cattle prices were down this week. The 5-area daily weighted average price for slaughter steers sold through Thursday of this week on a live weight basis was $92.73/cwt, down $1.82 from a week earlier but $11.51 higher than a year ago. Steers sold on a dressed basis this week averaged $149.96/cwt, $4.41 lower than the week before but $20.17 higher than last year.
This weeks cattle slaughter totaled 661,000 head, up 5.8 per cent from the previous week and down 0.8 per cent compared to the same week last year. Last weeks slaughter was light because of the Memorial Day holiday.
Steer carcase weights averaged 810 pounds during the week ending May 29. That was up 2 pounds from the week before, but 15 pounds lighter than a year ago. This was the 27th consecutive week with steer weights below year earlier levels.
Cash bids for feeder cattle this week were mixed this week. The price ranges at Oklahoma City for medium and large frame steers were: 400450# $133-$140.50, 450500# NA, 500550# $126-$132, 550600# $124-$132, 600650# $114-$121, 650700# $110.75-$117, 700750# $108-$112.25, 750800# $106-$112.75, and 8001000# $95.50-$108.75/cwt.
