NEWSPAPER

LIVESTOCKPackers were aggressive last week with the largest harvest week since January 1978, 791,000 head were processed during theweek. Packers have slowed the chains slightly this week but margins are still attractive enough for them to work a full sched-ule. Concerns about the impending opening of the boarder helped push asking prices down, trading Wednesday was $1.00-2.00lower at $78.00. $2.00-3.00 lower in Nebraska at $124.00. All tests in Canada have been completed and no other cases of BSE were found. The USDA is waiting for the release of a thirdparty report before fully beginning negotiations on opening the U.S./Canadian border to beef products and cattle. Early ideasthat limited trade would resume this week have been pushed back. Beef prices have pulled back from record levels. Packer margins are still very good. Compared to last week Light Choice car-casses closed Tuesday at $146.85/cwt. down $3.10. Light Select carcasses closed at $130.82. Feeder cattle markets began to follow the slaughter cattle market down with prices steady to a few dollars lower at area auc-tions. Quality was also a factor on lower prices with better cattle continuing to receive good bids. Trade was active with manyproducers going to market prior to the reopening of the U. S. / Canadian border. Spotty rains have kept stocker buyers cautiousahead of summer. Pork demand continues to benefit from its discount to beef with pork features increasing at the retail level. Iowa/SouthernMinnesota hot carcass value at midday Wednesday saw 185 lbs. carcass range from $56.75-67.50 weighted average $65.76.

SOYBEANS MILO CORN

Wheat Harvest progressed in spurts this week with scattered rains keeping many combines out of the field. As of last weekend only 20percent of the crop was in the bin and progress was slowed due to rains on Tuesday of this week. Quality has been very good onharvested wheat with most test weights in the high 50's low 60's. The USDA's production report released Wednesday was bear-ish with over 1 billion bushels added to the carryover for this year. Wheat prices were 12 to 15 cents higher at state elevatorsfor the week at the close Tuesday. Corn plantings continue to progress in the Eastern Corn Belt but private analysts anticipateover 1 million acres will go unplanted to corn. A lack of demand helped push corn stocks higher than estimated, giving the cornmarket a bearish note. Soybean markets will follow corn and wheat for the near term with no real news of its own to carrytrading.

SOYBEANS MILO CORN

Wheat Spotty rains have delayed harvest in various parts of the state. Quality of the wheat has been extremely good with most testweights in the high 50’s to low 60’s. Wheat prices were 10 to 12 cents lower at state elevators for the week at the close Tuesday.Wheat harvest is approximately 80 percent finished. Rains in the midwest are making the corn and soybean crops look favorable indicating no future changes with the low corn prices. Short term supply of soybeans have been favorable for the market allowing prices to keep rising.


ALFALFA HAY: Trade moderate to moderately active.Demand was good for premium dairy quality hay, moderatefor other offerings. Prices were firm for premium quality,steady for all other grades. The occasional higher prices notedin this report were said to reflect some higher quality secondcutting hay. Second hay is virtually completed.Dry weatherand warmer temperatures have returned to the state andwheat harvest is proceeding rapidly.

GRASS HAY: Trade light to moderate, but pace is expect-ed to increase in the next two weeks. Demand light to moder-ate. Buyer inquiry has improved recently. Meadows benefitedfrom recent rainfall and current warm temperatures. To belisted in or for a copy of the Oklahoma Hay Producer directo-ry call 1-800-580-6543.

Cattle trade has been slow this week, the last fully established market was last week with dressed sales at 119.00-120.00 andlive sales at 75.00. A holiday has shortened the slaughter week and weakness in boxed beef prices have diminished packerdemand. Boxed beef prices have been volatile closing this week at 125.82/cwt down $2.05 from last week. It is hoped thedemand for beef will pick up and be sustained after the 4th of July weekend. Feeder cattle prices still continue to rise with limited supply. Low corn prices are also helping prolong the demand for feeder cattle.Pork demand has risen this past week.

SOYBEANS MILO CORN

Wheat Wheat prices are holding steady this week at state elevators. Australia wheat stocks are down 28%. Export sales this past

week have taken place with South Korea purchasing 21,000 tons of U.S. wheat. The soybean market closed Wednesday 20-30cents lower. Rains in the midwest making the corn crop look favorable. Scattered rains received throughout the state havehelped out summer crops with some areas receiving 0.5 to 1 inch, but more rain is needed. Topsoil and subsoil moisture levelscontinue to decline.


ALFALFA HAY: Trade slow. Prices weak to 5.00 lower.Demand was light to moderate for all offerings. High temper-atures and dry, weather continue throughout the state. Manyproducers have stored hay in the barns from early summerand are waiting for higher price levels.

GRASS HAY: Trade at a near standstill with very lightdemand. Prices remain steady, with pasture grass still dete-riorating. Cattlemen continue to move cattle and are takingadvantage of current strong stocker markets.








Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 1.00-2.00higher. Steer and heifer calves not well tested. Demand goodfor feeder cattle but many cattle already sold or moved to thefeedlots. Hot dry weather along with high cattle prices hascaused many cattle to move to market. This week’s numbersinclude very little current deliveries. Summers heat hasmany cattle making little to no gains and some contract cat-tle showing up about 50 lbs. under contracted weight. Norelief in sight and forecasters already saying July will godown as one of the driest.

Sales this week were confirmed on 4,227 steers and 1,407heifers. 35% of this week's sales were for current delivery.Yearlings made up 96% of the week's confirmed sales.Heifers comprised 26% of supply. Unless otherwise statedprices are FOB weigh point with a 2-3 percent shrink orequivalent and with a 5-10 cent slide on calves and a3-6 cent slide on yearlings from base weights. Current salesup to 14 days for delivery.

SOYBEANS MILO CORN

Wheat Wheat prices are 10-15 cents higher this week at state elevators. Recent export sales with Europe and poor weather hit-

ting the Canadian crop have caused the market to gain some momentum. Corn crop conditions in the midwest continue to lookfavorable. The soybean market continued to decline 20-30 cents lower this week at area elevators.


ALFALFA HAY: Trade slow. Prices are steady. Demandwas light to moderate for all offerings. High temperaturesand dry, weather continue throughout parts of the state whileother areas received light showers. The scattered rains havehelped out with the alfalfa crop, but more rain is needed.

GRASS HAY: Trade at a near standstill with very lightdemand. Prices steady to 5.00 higher. Scattered showersthroughout the state have given the deteriorating grass somerelief, but more moisture is needed.

SOYBEANS MILO CORN

Wheat Wheat prices are unstable this week with markets closing on Wednesday in the range of 3.36-3.50 at state elevators. Corn

prices rose another 6-7 cents this week. The intensity of this late summer heat wave brings back memories of 1995-96 summer,with some hope that corn and coarse grains could have good export capabilites. This year’s Chinese corn crop looks to be in goodshape; and they possibly will be strong competitors for export business. The soybean market was 32-34 cents higher this week

ALFALFA HAY: Demand is moderate for alfalfa haywith prices remaining steady. The state received 1.5-5inches of rain statewide, putting an end to drought formany alfalfa producers. Few areas saw enough rain tomake a difference in pond levels. Producers continue tomove lightweight cattle where water is running short.Many producers getting ready for wheat planting.

GRASS HAY: Trade at a standstill with very lightdemand continuing. Much of pastures and meadows havereceived much needed rainfall, but in some areas sub-moisture is still needed. Producers continue to hold hayfrom early cuttings for higher prices.

ALFALFA HAY: Demand is moderate for alfalfa hay withprices remaining steady. Scattered light showers continue tofall throughout the state, but more rain is needed in mostregions of western Oklahoma. Some producers are cuttingtheir fourth and fifth cuttings of alfalfa hay, but in most areasfarmers are busy planting wheat. More moisture needed inorder for producers to have good wheat pastureprospects.Producers are still leaving hay in storage for the anticipationof higher prices.

GRASS HAY: Trade at a standstill with very light demandcontinuing. Many pastures and meadows have received muchneeded rainfall, and some producers have gotten a secondgrass hay cutting in some areas. Many of the pastures in west-ern Oklahoma, still in need of sub-moisture with all water lev-els in ponds still low. Producers continue to hold hay from early cuttings for higherprices.

Oklahoma Hay Report

ALFALFA HAY: Demand is slow to moderate for haythis week with prices remaining steady. Farmers are busyin most areas planting winter wheat.

ALFALFA HAY: Demand is slow o moderate for haythis week with prices remaining steady. Farmers are busyin most areas planting winter wheat. Scattered rainscontinue to move through the state leaving most produc-ers in good shape for wheat pasture prospects. A greatportion of the wheat is already in the ground in mostareas. Cloudy and damp weather has slowed someproducers from being in the field currently. Producers arestill leaving hay in storage for the anticipation of higherprices.

GRASS HAY: Trade at a standstill with very lightdemand continuing. Many pastures in western Oklahoma,have received much needed rain in the state,temperatures throughout the state starting to cool down.Producers continue to hold hay from early cuttings forhigher prices.

ALFALFA HAY: Hay trade and demand is slow thisweek with prices remaining steady. Many farmers havemost of their wheat in the ground, with continued mois-ture making wheat pasture prospects throughoutOklahoma very favorable. Heavy rains in WesternOklahoma will most likely keep producers out of the fieldfor the next few days. Cooler temperatures slowing thegrowth process of alfalfa hay, leaving the last cuttings inmost areas with small yields. Producers are still leavinghay in storage for the anticipation of higher prices.

GRASS HAY: Trade at a standstill with very lightdemand continuing. Many pastures in western Oklahoma,have received much needed rain in the state, tempera-tures throughout the state starting to cool down.Producers continue to hold hay from early cuttings for higher prices.

Compared to last week: Feeder cattle and calves notwell tested as bulk of the sales for forward delivery.Feeder cattle are pretty well cleaned up in the country orfarmers are opting to market their cattle at area salebarns. Interest for contracting calves for spring feeders isvery good, despite the large discount of out front months tothe current cash market. Stocker operatorsare leery of this record level market and are aware thatwhat goes up will eventually go down. Contract pricesextremely varied as many of the cattle were contracted midweek last week. Since then, there has been three days of1.50 up moves in the cattle futures.


Unless otherwise stated prices are FOB weigh pointwith a 2-3 percent shrink or equivalent and with a 5-10cent slide on calves and a 3-6 cent slide on yearlings frombase weights. Current sales up to 14 daysfor delivery.

ALFALFA HAY: Hay trade slow to moderate withprices steady to 10.00 higher in most areas. Wheat pas-ture prospects continue to look good throughout the state.Interest for contracting calves for spring feeders is verygood. Throughout the state light weight stocker cattleprices were 6.00-10.00 higher this week, with wheat pasture right around the corner. Producers are still leav-ing hay in storage for the anticipation of higher prices.

Compared to last week: Feeder cattle and calves notwell tested. Majority of the sales contracted for springdelivery. Calf trade quiet. Many farmers opting to sell atlocal auction barns where demand for calves is extremelygood. Interest for forward contracting spring feedersremains good. In this volatile market some would ratherlock in a profit instead of playing the game and riskingthe loss. Current sales of feeder cattle remain extremelylight as many cattle were marketed at least a monthahead of schedule to take advantage of the record levelprices.

Sales this week were confirmed on 1713 steers and 1100heifers. 2% of this week's sales were for current delivery.Yearlings made up 100% of the week's confirmed sales.Heifers comprised 39% of supply. Unless otherwise statedprices are FOB weigh point with a 2-3 percent shrink orequivalent and with a 5-10 cent slide on calves and a 3-6cent slide on yearlings from base weights.

(bu.) (cwt.) (bu.)

Grain ReportWheat prices have moved back up over the past two weeks. State elevator wheat prices on Wednesday were in the range of$3.82-$4.09. It is hoped trade will continue with the weak U.S. dollar. USDA weekly export sales came in at 892 thousandmetric tons which was higher than estimates of 600 to 800 metric tons. England, Argentina and Russia have all cut grainproduction estimates even more than they predicted a month ago. Every bushel erased from their balance sheets enhances theU.S. export potential. Compared to two weeks ago soybean, milo and corn markets are once again higher.

ALFALFA HAY: Hay trade is light to moderate withprices holding steady. Dry weather remains over most ofthe state. Winter weather visited the state Tuesday withhopes of making some type of moisture available forfarmers with winter wheat. Some regions in northwesternOklahoma received 2-4 inches of dry snow causing little moisture to run off into wheat fields. Cooler temperaturesare causing more hay to be fed, but farmers have amplehay at this time. Trading expected to pick up if westernand central Oklahoma continue to stay dry.

GRASS HAY: Cooler temperatures have causeddemand to increase slightly. Producers continue to holdhay from early cuttings for higher prices. Some producersstarting to feed more grass hay in order to stretch wheatpasture.
