1 Tennessee Market Highlights September 22, 2017 Number: 38 Trends for the Week Compared to a Week Ago Slaughter Cows $2 to $3 lower Slaughter Bulls $4 to $7 lower Feeder Steers less than 600 lbs. $3 to $6 lower, 600 lbs. and over unevenly steady Feeder Heifers Steady to $2 lower Feeder Cattle Index Wednesday s index: Fed Cattle The 5-area live price of $ is up $2.25. The dressed price is down $0.87 at $ Corn December closed at $3.50 a bushel, down 4 cents since last Friday. Soybeans November closed at $9.70 a bushel, up 2 cents since last Friday. Wheat December closed at $4.52 a bushel, up 3 cents since last Friday. Cotton December closed at cents per lb, down 0.82 cents since last Friday. Livestock Comments by Dr. Andrew P. Griffith FED CATTLE: Fed cattle traded $2 higher compared to last week on a live basis. Prices on a live basis were mainly $108 while prices on a dressed basis were mainly $170 to $172. The 5-area weighted average prices thru Thursday were $ live, up $2.25 from last week and $ dressed, down $0.87 from a week ago. A year ago prices were $ live and $ dressed. Cash trade for finished cattle was slow through the week as it has been the past several weeks, but Friday brought optimism for cattle feeders. Packers began to bid higher prices though they were bidding $2 lower than cattle feeders asking prices. The sudden surge in cash bid prices jolted live cattle futures and resulted in traders pushing prices higher. Does this mean the summer low for cattle prices is in? Considering today is the last day of summer then it would appear the summer low would have to be set. Moving through the fall months, prices could always see another soft spot, but the expectation is for finished cattle prices to methodically improve heading toward the end of the year. BEEF CUTOUT: At midday Friday, the Choice cutout was $ no change from Thursday and down $0.08 from last Friday. The Select cutout was $ up $0.09 from Thursday and up $2.50 from last Friday. The Choice Select spread was $3.01 compared to $5.59 a week ago. The Select cutout price bounced back from last week but Choice beef remained stagnant. There is very little happening in the beef market to provide much support for Choice beef prices. Beef production is up 4.4 percent year to date compared to 2016 while the percentage of beef grading Prime and Choice is also higher than a year ago. A simple average of weekly estimated grading of steers and heifers shows the number of cattle grading Prime and Choice so far in 2017 is 2.5 percent higher than the same time period in 2016 while animals grading Select has declined more than 1.5 percent. For the week ending September 9th, it is estimated 6.5 percent of steers and heifers graded Prime while 73.1 percent graded Choice. Similarly, it is estimated 16.3 percent graded Select that week. It would be deemed positive from a production standpoint that more cattle are grading Prime and Choice, but it has resulted in a narrowing of the Choice Select spread. The dynamics of increased beef production and the quantity grading Choice or higher will keep pressure on Choice beef prices. OUTLOOK: Attempting to call a trend for the Tennessee feeder cattle market this week is like trying to pin a tail on a donkey or catch lightning in a jar. It can be done, but no one is going to garner any pleasure or benefit much. Heifers were steady to $2 lower compared to last week based on the Tennessee weekly auction market averages. Steers weighing less than 600 pounds were $3 to $6 lower while steers 600 pounds and heavier were unevenly steady. Slaughter cows were $2 to $3 lower while slaughter bull prices were $4 to $7 lower compared to a week ago. The cash market is showing evidence of seasonal price softening, but the futures market has been on an $11 to $14 run to the upside the past month. Feeder cattle futures contracts from September 2017 through January 2018 are trading in a range from $153 to $158 per hundredweight while the remaining actively traded 2018 contracts are all trading around $150. Without going into detail or maybe a lack of understanding, it is difficult to believe feeder cattle futures prices are depicting an accurate story for the next 12 months in the cattle markets. Thus, looking at the fundamentals and history may provide a clearer picture of what to expect through the fall of 2017 and into A larger cow herd will lead to a larger calf crop this fall than has been seen in sev- (Continued on page 2)

2 Livestock Comments by Dr. Andrew Griffith (Continued from page 1) eral years. Some of those calves have already made their trip to town, but more will have wheels set under them in the next six to eight weeks. The larger calf crop will pressure lightweight calf prices this fall from current levels. The larger supply of calves will also result in increased placements of cattle into feedlots which suggest softer prices. Strong profitability in the feeding sector the first six months of 2017 may help support feeder cattle prices, but failure of the live cattle market to recover could put a damper on too much support. Though the futures market is pricing feeder cattle this fall higher than the beginning of 2018, seasonality would point to stronger prices after the first of the year. The September cattle on feed report for feedlots with a 1000 head or more capacity indicated cattle and calves on feed as of September 1, 2017 totaled million head, up 3.6% compared to a year ago, with the pre-report estimate average expecting an increase of 2.7%. August placements in feedlots totaled 1.92 million head, up 2.6% from a year ago with the prereport estimate average expecting placements down 3.2%. August marketing s totaled 1.98 million head up 5.9% from 2016 with pre-report estimates expecting marketings up 6.0%. Placements on feed by weight: under 800 pounds down 1.5%, 800 to 999 pounds up 11.0%, and 1,000 pounds and over down 8.3%.

ASK ANDREW, TN THINK TANK: The question this week comes from an industry consultant for NOAA. The question was in relation to how livestock producers utilize information from the US Drought Monitor to plan for and mitigate the impacts of drought. Each reader of this commentary probably uses the US Drought Monitor information a little differently, but it is likely it is not the only source of information. Producers gather information from many sources to assist in decision making. However, the US Drought Monitor can help in many ways, and the way it impacts decision making depends largely on the time of year and the region being impacted. Precipitation influences grain and forage production which means precipitation can influence feed costs before an animal enters the feedlot and after the animal enters the feedlot. Changes in feed costs often influence market prices for cattle and thus the decision making of livestock producers. This is a simplification of the overall use of the US Drought Monitor, but it can be a valuable tool.

3 Crop Comments by Dr. Aaron Smith Overview Corn and cotton were down; soybeans and wheat were up for the week. December corn futures prices have moved sideways since the contract low on August 31 of $3.44 ¼, closing at $3.50 ¼ on Thursday. Mixed yield reports across the Corn Belt continue to provide some production uncertainty. Further complicating the supply picture are USDA s projections of billion bushels of domestic stocks versus an almost 1 billion bushel projected decrease (8.935 billion bushels to billion bushels, an 11% year-over-year reduction) in global corn stocks from the 2016/17 marketing year end to the 2017/18 marketing year end. Corn prices are likely to establish (if the low hasn t already been set) a bottom this month. Soybean prices have crept off early August lows ($9.21 on August 16) and are now in a short term up trend, closing Thursday at $9.70 ¾. To maintain upward price movement, markets will look for either USDA to reduce US average yield or export sales pace will need to accelerate to catch up to the five year average pace. Currently, total export commitments as a percent of total USDA marketing year exports are 32% compared to a 5-year average of 47%. Two wild cards exist for soybean markets 1) trade (trade agreements/disruptions) and 2) South American plantings. Both have the potential to move markets substantially in either direction. Cotton markets have retreated from hurricane driven highs. The December contract peaked at on September 8, since then prices have retreated 7.5 cents closing at In the next month, cotton prices could test the December contract low of on June 26. In Tennessee, quality premiums for cotton will be a producer s best path towards obtaining a higher price. ***This week s futures contract numbers are as of Thursday market close*** Corn December 2017 corn futures closed at $3.50 down 4 cents since last Friday. For the week, December 2017 corn futures traded between $3.46 and $3.55.

10 Beef Industry News Featured Article from Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service: Cow/Calf Corner Understanding feeder cattle price slides Derrell S. Peel Oklahoma State Univ. Extension Livestock Marketing Specialist Feeder cattle prices depend on the weight of the cattle with lightweight cattle typically having the highest price per pound (or hundredweight) and lower prices for heavier cattle. Not only do prices vary across cattle weights but the size of the price adjustment depends on the weight of the cattle. Price slides are a measure of the amount of price adjustment as weight changes from a base weight. Price slides have a number of uses, the most common of which is adjusting the price of forward contracted cattle if actual weight is different from the specified base weight. Price slides are also useful for producers to evaluate price changes for the weight gain of calves in a preconditioning or short backgrounding program or perhaps the additional weight from creep feeding calves. Prices slides are often stated in terms of traditional rules of thumb, e.g. a 10 cent slide on calves or a 6 cent slide on yearlings. The price volatility of recent years has shown that these rules of thumb using absolute levels are inadequate to accurately capture price adjustments over a wide range of price levels. Price slides depend on the price level and thus are more accurately stated as a percent of the base price. Table 1 shows annual average and monthly average price slides for selected weights of steers and heifers. It is apparent that price slides are not only different for different weights but also vary for steers and heifers and at different times of the year. As an example of how to use these price slides, suppose the base price of 575 pound steers is $150/cwt. The annual average price slide is 6.7 percent which results in a price adjustment of $10.05/cwt. If the steer actually weighs 30 pounds more or 605 pounds, the price would be adjusted down by $3.02/cwt ($10.05 x 0.3 cwt.) to $ ($150- $3.02). In this example, the price slide is close to the traditional 10 cent slide. However, while the percent price slide is constant, the absolute price adjustment depends on price level. Thus, the 575 pound steer would have a price slide of $8.04/cwt. if market price was $1.20/cwt. or $12.06/cwt if the market price was $180/cwt. It is evident from Table 1 that the percent price slide for heifers is generally lower compared to steers for the lighter weights but is roughly equal to the steer price slide for heavy feeders. It is also apparent that price slides for both steers and heifers vary across months. Price adjustments can be fine-tuned using the monthly average price slides. In general, price slides are relatively constant across months for light weight calves and for the heavy feeders. Price slides in the middle feeder weights ( pounds for steers, pounds for heifers) have wide variation across months. For example, 675 pound steers have an annual average price slide of 4.0 percent which varies from 8.2 percent in March to essentially zero in October. Price slides expressed in percentages adjust automatically and appropriately to changing market prices. Understanding price slides can help producers improve cattle marketing and evaluate feeder cattle production alternatives.
