1 US Imported Beef Market A Weekly Update Prepared Exclusively for Meat & Livestock Australia - Sydney Volume XVIII, Issue 4 February 2, 2018 Prepared by: Steiner Consulting Group SteinerConsulting.com service@steinerconsulting.com Market Highlights for the Week: US cattle inventory on January 1 was million head, 0.7% higher than a year ago and the largest US cattle inventory since 2009 CME fed cattle futures rallied sharply following the release of the inventory report as key numbers were below expectations, especially the inventory of all cattle on feed The USDA survey pegged the calf crop for 2017 at 35.8 million head, 2% higher than last year but half a million head less than the initial estimate of the calf crop reported last July The US cow herd on January 1 was 41.2 million head, 1.6% higher than a year ago and implying another increase in the US calf crop during 2018 and higher beef production in 2019 Imported beef prices were higher once again this week on limited offerings from overseas suppliers, particularly New Zealand, and the rally in US fed cattle futures The price of 50CL beef trim continues to defy expectations on good retail ground beef demand, higher exports of fatty cuts but also end users that look to secure more product ahead of spring demand US fed cattle slaughter for the week was 498,000 head, 6% higher than the previous year while non fed slaughter was 131,000 head, 3.7% higher than a year ago Imported Market Activity for the Week Imported beef prices continued to climb higher this week as offerings from overseas suppliers, particularly from New Zealand, continue to fall short of expectations. Moisture conditions in New Zealand have improved considerably and this has limited supply availability. Packers in New Zealand are looking to fill orders that they took back in December when slaughter rocketed higher and do not seem interested to chase US bids. The weaker US dollar further complicates matters although some market participants think that dynamic may change following the big swing in exchange rates on Friday. The USD per 1AUD was hovering at around 0.81 earlier in the week but dropped to , one of the biggest two day corrections of the last 12 months (a decline means fewer USD needed to buy 1 AUD and it also implies higher returns for Australian packers deriving revenue in USD) US Cow Herd and Herd Expansion Outlook Source: USDA/NASS mil head US COW INVENTORY January 1 US Beef + Dairy Cow Inventories.

2 VOLUME XVIII, ISSUE 4 US IMPORTED BEEF MARKET PAGE 2 US Cattle Inventory & Its Implications The US cattle inventory on January 1 was million head, 0.7% higher than a year ago. Prior to the report analysts were expecting a 1.3% increase. This is the largest cattle inventory number since 2009 but the shortfall reflects a smaller than expected calf crop and indicates that cattle industry expansion has slowed down significantly in the last 12 months. Cow numbers (see charts on page 1) are always a key factor to watch and the inventory was slightly under expectations. Prior to the report analysts expected the beef cow herd to be 1.8% larger than the previous year. According to USDA the beef cow herd on January 1 was million head, 510,000 head (+1.6%) larger than a year ago. Estimating cow slaughter for the year will depend in part on the inventory at the start of the year as well as weather conditions and overall industry profitability. Ample grass conditions and strong cow-calf producer margins encouraged cow herd expansion during 2015, 2016 and We expect the cow slaughter to increase in 2018, in part because the cow herd is larger but also due to increased drought pressure and lower calf prices. Our current forecast is for total cow slaughter to be up 4.4% in 2018 following a 6.3% increase in If drought conditions worsen, we could see slaughter accelerate and the high end of our forecast has cow slaughter up 11% compared to a year ago. Robust beef demand and good pasture conditions could cause slaughter to be up only around 2% for the year. Heifer retention in the past two years has bolstered the cow herd but it appears that expansion is quickly coming to an end. According to USDA cowcalf operators have retained 3.7% fewer heifers for beef cow herd rebuilding in The lower heifer retention number will not by itself change the outlook for the beef cow herd in the short term. However, a lower retention number coupled with a potential increase in beef cow slaughter due to drought this summer (higher chance of La Nina) is likely to put the brakes on cow herd inventory growth.

The 2017 calf crop was estimated at million head, 715,000 head larger than the previous year. USDA expects beef production to expand by 6% in We are not as aggressive in our forecast, in part because of the calf crop data, and expect production to be about 1.5 points lower than USDA. The supply of feeder cattle outside feedlots on January 1 was million head, 2.1% lower than a year ago. This is the first decline in the feeder cattle supply since 2015 and implies a lower placement rate in the next three months. The top chart in this page shows the relationship between the cow inventory on January 1 and the calf crop for the year. The relationship is quite strong and the current cow inventory implies continued increases in the US calf crop in By our
3 VOLUME XVIII, ISSUE 4 US IMPORTED BEEF MARKET PAGE 3 estimate the calf crop in 2018 is expected to increase between 1.7% and 2.1% this year, with a midpoint of 1.9%. The second chart in the previous page also shows the relationship of the calf crop in year 1 vs. steer slaughter in year 2. While steer slaughter and the calf crop will be directionally correlated, there are plenty of factors that may impact how and when producers finish their cattle and bring them to market. Drought conditions may induce producers to accelerate the sale of light calves to feedlots and those steers may come to market relatively quickly (sometimes months of age). However, when pastures are plentiful cow-calf operators have an opportunity to put more pounds on animals outside of feedlots and there will be more cattle that are +1 year of age when they enter the feedlot. You will notice that we derived the correlation between steer slaughter and the calf crop rather than total fed slaughter. That s because during times of herd rebuilding producers will retain more heifers and thus heifer slaughter may decline even as calf supplies increase. The reverse happens when producers decide to stop expanding or start to liquidate their herds. Domestic Price Summary Prices for domestic 90CL boneless beef were quoted at 217 US cents on the top side, about the same as a week ago and 7 cents higher than year ago levels. The weighted average price tonight was quoted at 216 cents, 1 cents lower than a week ago. 85CL beef trim price on the top side was quoted tonight at 194 cents, 4 cent higher compared to last week and 6 cents higher than a year ago. 50CL beef price was 95 cents on the high side, 2 cent higher than last week and 18 cents higher than last year. Prices for fat beef trim on a weighted average basis were 93 cents, 5 cents higher than last week Pork prices continue to trade much higher than year ago levels as slaughter has been significantly less than expected and only slightly above year ago. Pork trim demand has been notably better than expected this fall, with higher premiums for both lean (72CL) and fat (42CL) pork. Bottom line: The US cattle cycle remains in an expansionary phase but that expansion is quickly coming to a close. Moisture conditions this spring and summer will be key. Producers have already decided to retain fewer heifers for herd rebuilding. A potential drought (see map above) could force them to liquidate some of their cow inventory. This could lead to a beef cow herd on January 1, 2019 that is either flat or possibly lower than it was on January 1, 2018.
