The document summarizes expectations for USDA's upcoming March Hogs and Pigs report. Analysts on average expect total hogs and pigs inventories as of March 1st to be 0.7% higher than the previous year. Specifically, analysts expect the December-February pig crop to be 1.2% larger than the previous year, adding about 350,000 head to the available supply. However, slower Canadian hog imports and lower December-February slaughter are expected to partially offset gains from the larger pig crop. The report will provide updated estimates on hog and pig inventories, farrowing intentions, and litter sizes.
The document summarizes pre-report estimates for the upcoming USDA Cattle report to be released in July 2012. Key estimates include a 2.1% decline in the beef cow herd from the previous year, bringing it to its smallest size ever reported in July at 30.7 million head. Analysts expect the 2012 calf crop to be down 1.6% to 34.75 million, the smallest since 1946. Inventories of cattle in large feedlots are anticipated to be up 2.5% from the previous year.
The document summarizes estimates for USDA's upcoming Cattle on Feed report, which is expected to show lower placements, marketings, and inventories compared to the previous year. Retail meat prices increased in March compared to February for all meats except composite broilers. While retail prices have increased, wholesale and farm values have not risen as much, especially for beef and pork. There is concern that retail prices are rising faster than production costs to keep products moving through the supply chain.
The document summarizes analysts' estimates for the upcoming USDA Hogs and Pigs report to be released on December 28, 2012. The analysts expect a modest 0.9% reduction in market pig inventories and a 0.5% increase in hogs over 180 lbs. The breeding herd is estimated to be 99.3% of the previous year, putting it at 5.762 million head, down 41,000 from the prior year but up slightly from September 1. While the breeding herd has declined in recent years, hog slaughter and pig crops have continued increasing, showing a negative correlation between slaughter and breeding herd size.
- The USDA cattle on feed report is expected to show inventories down 6.2% from a year ago, implying 668,000 fewer cattle on feed currently compared to last year.
- Analyst estimates for cattle placements in January ranged from a 3% decline to a 4% increase from a year ago, with the average estimate expecting placements to be at the same level as January 2012.
- Marketings of cattle in January are estimated to be 4.7% larger than last year due to an extra marketing day, but the daily average is expected to be about the same as 2012 levels.
1) Cow slaughter numbers are lagging official USDA reports by two weeks, but estimated cow slaughter for the week of July 14th is around 3% higher than the previous year as drought conditions deteriorate pastures across much of the central US.
2) High feed costs from increased corn, soybean meal and hay prices are putting pressure on cow-calf operators and pushing more cows to market. Weaker calf prices next year from declining feeder cattle futures are also impacting cow slaughter numbers.
3) Hog slaughter numbers may be rising as well, driven by sharply higher feed costs and softer wholesale pork prices, with light sow prices down around 8% in the last 10 days.
1) Demand indexes for major animal proteins (pork, beef, chicken, turkey) through August 2022 were mixed, with pork and chicken demand lower than the previous year and beef and turkey demand higher.
2) Pork and chicken consumption was lower than expected given only modest price increases, while beef and turkey prices rose more substantially with consumption.
3) Real disposable income per capita, a key driver of consumer demand, has grown slowly since the recession, averaging just 0.2% from 2011-2012, limiting consumer spending on meat including pork and chicken.
The USDA will issue its monthly report on cattle feedlot inventories as of September 1st. Analysts expect total cattle on feed to be similar to last year's levels. However, there is a large range in estimates for cattle placements in August, with most analysts expecting placements to be lower than in August 2011 due to drought impacts and high feed costs. On average, analysts expect placements to be down 7.3% from last year. Cattle marketings in August are also expected to be down slightly from 2011 levels. Overall, the report is expected to show tighter cattle feedlot inventories as placements remain lower than last year.
The USDA revised its estimates of broiler and turkey production upwards for 2013. Broiler production is now estimated at 37.519 billion pounds, up 1.7% from last month's estimate and 2.4% higher than 2012 levels. Turkey production is estimated at 6.094 billion pounds, up 2.5% from last month and 3.5% above 2012. The poultry industry appears to have weathered higher feed costs better than expected. Egg sets are up 1.3% from a year ago and production gains in chicken and turkey may impact red meat prices in the short term by providing more affordable protein options.

Feedlot operators have reduced cattle placements by almost 1.3 million head since June due to sharply higher feed costs from drought-driven increases in corn, wheat, and other feed prices. Analysts expect the USDA report on Friday will show placements down 12.7% in October from a year ago and marketings up 2.6%, reducing the cattle on feed inventory by 5.4% or 640,000 head from 2011 levels. The rapid decline in placements implies significantly fewer cattle will be available for marketing in the second quarter of 2013.
Analysts expect declines in key metrics in the upcoming USDA Cattle On Feed report. Placements are forecasted to fall significantly below last year's levels due to lower cattle futures prices and tight grain supplies. February slaughter was down 8.5% from the previous year. March 1 feedlot inventories are estimated to be 10.9 million head, down 759,000 from the prior year which would be the largest annual decline on record. However, beef packing margins have improved recently and may positively impact cattle prices going forward.
According to the latest USDA survey, total hog and pig inventories were 1.5% larger than the previous year at 65.911 million head. Market hog inventories were up 1.6% and hog slaughter for Q2 2013 is expected to be larger than previously anticipated. Producers intend to farrow fewer hogs over the next two quarters but the pig crop is still expected to be modestly higher due to gains in pigs per litter. Lower corn prices should help contain pork price inflation for the rest of 2013 and 2014.
- USDA's monthly Cattle on Feed report showed February placements were 13.5% lower than the previous year and feedlot inventories on March 1 declined 7% year-over-year, the largest decline since 2009. This suggests fed cattle supplies will tighten significantly in the second half of 2013.
- USDA's monthly Cold Storage report showed total meat and poultry in freezers was up 5.7% from the previous year. Increased chicken and turkey stocks accounted for most of the rise, with chicken up 6.1% and turkey up 14.1% year-over-year. Pork and beef stocks were also higher but increased less.
- Large poultry supplies, particularly chicken,
USDA made several adjustments to its estimates of US corn production and use in its January report. Yields were higher than expected but harvested acres were lower, resulting in only a slight increase in total production. USDA increased its forecast of corn used for livestock and poultry feed while lowering exports. Combined beef, pork, and broiler production forecasts for 2013 were also increased compared to the December estimates.
The USDA quarterly Hogs and Pigs report showed a slight reduction in the breeding herd from last year and a larger market herd, indicating a rapid shift from expansion to contraction. Farrowing intentions, especially for the next quarter, seem low relative to the breeding herd. The report implies lower pork supplies in the next four quarters but slaughter declines may not be as large as expected if sow slaughter increases.
The USDA will release reports on grain stocks and planting intentions that will impact corn, soybean, and wheat markets. Analysts expect March 1 grain stocks of 5.013 billion bushels of corn, 0.935 billion bushels of soybeans, and 1.177 billion bushels of wheat. They also expect plantings of 97.252 million acres of corn, 78.394 million acres of soybeans, and 56.442 million acres of wheat. The reports will provide insights into supply and prices for the upcoming marketing year.
The USDA's monthly Cattle On Feed report will be released on Friday and is expected to show the first year-on-year increase in placements since May. Analysts estimate placements in December will be 104.1% of the previous year's level, totaling 1.742 million head. Cattle feeding margins have remained negative for 21 months due to high feed and cattle costs, with losses estimated at $120/head in November and December. Japan may soon allow imports of beef from cattle up to 30 months old, expanding the supply for Japanese exports.
- USDA's cattle inventory report found fewer cattle than expected, which will likely increase cattle futures prices. The beef cow herd and calf crop were both at their lowest levels since 1973 and 1942 respectively.
- Cold storage inventories of pork and beef were lower than the previous month but higher than the same month last year. Chicken inventories grew slightly from the previous month.
- The cattle on feed report found inventories close to expectations, and is expected to have a neutral impact on cattle futures prices. Placements in June were lower than the previous year.
- The USDA's monthly Cold Storage report showed total frozen meat and poultry inventories declined 4.3% in October but remained higher than one year ago.
- Pork stocks remained the most concerning at 24% higher than one year ago, driven largely by a 39.9% increase in frozen ham inventories.
- Turkey stocks were 11.6% higher than last year, with the entire increase accounted for by whole birds, meaning supplies of non-holiday items were about the same.
- Total meat and poultry in freezers has been larger than one year earlier in 20 of the past 24 months, though inventories have historically declined abruptly after long upward trends.
The cattle on feed report showed inventories down 6.2% from a year ago, in line with expectations. Placements were higher than some expected due to high feed prices pushing cattle into feedlots. Meat supplies in cold storage remain above year-ago levels. The hog report showed slaughter down 2.5% from last year while pork production fell 3.1%.
The document discusses the upcoming release of USDA reports on grain stocks and hogs/pigs. It provides analysts' estimates for the hogs/pigs report, which generally expect numbers to be near 100% of year-ago levels. It also notes that the EU ban on gestation stalls going into effect January 2013 could impact EU pork supplies but is not expected to cause large drops in US pork supplies. The document includes a chart showing that growth in US hog slaughter and pork production slowed well before recent drought impacts.
- The US Senate passed a measure to shift $55 million within the USDA budget to prevent meat inspection furloughs through September. This averts threatened cuts and will now go to the House for approval.
- Both cattle and hog markets have been disappointing this spring, with pork cutout values softer than normal historically for this time of year. Pork packer margins have improved due to lower hog prices.
- For pork markets to improve, cutout values will need to increase to make room for higher hog prices while maintaining packer margins.
Hog futures traded lower on reports of higher hog slaughter and weaker wholesale prices. Hog slaughter was up 1.7% from the same period last year. Producers are expected to market hogs more aggressively, which could lead to lower slaughter levels in April compared to the previous year. Hog carcass weights remain below last year's levels, indicating producers continue marketing hogs at lighter weights. Uncertainty around export demand due to closed markets in Russia and China is negatively impacting hog prices.
1) US cow slaughter has been below year-ago levels since July due to a sharp decline in beef cows, though dairy cow slaughter is up 10%.
2) Beef cow slaughter through October 20 was down 21% from last year as producers transition cattle from grass to scarce and expensive hay.
3) US sow slaughter was up 2.8% through October 20 but producers also reduced breeding herds by sending fewer replacement gilts to market.

- The number of feeder cattle outside of feedlots declined by 1.3 million head (3.4%) from the previous year according to a USDA survey, showing an industry mired in contraction.
- The latest cattle inventory data found the total cattle on feed was only 0.8% higher than the previous year, lower than other estimates, putting US feedlot supplies in better context.
- Drought conditions and lack of pastures will likely further reduce the US beef cow herd and lower future calf crops, exacerbating the liquidation of beef cows.
The document discusses the impacts of recent USDA reports on grain and livestock markets. The Grain Stocks report showed much higher corn stockpiles than expected, implying lower corn usage for ethanol and feed. This pushed corn prices down and helped hog profits. The Planting Intentions report estimates were close to forecasts except for soybeans, which came in below estimates. The data suggests corn acres may be shifting southward in response to yield declines from consecutive corn crops.
The USDA will release its monthly Cattle On Feed report and semi-annual cattle inventory report on Friday. The Cattle On Feed report provides data on feedlot inventories and cattle movements. Analysts expect inventories to remain higher than last year. The drought has greatly deteriorated range and pasture conditions, with over 70% of beef cows now located in states with poor or very poor pasture ratings, more than double the percentage from 3 weeks ago. The reports may not fully reflect current conditions given the rapidly changing situation due to drought.
USDA will release its monthly Crop Production and World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report on September 12th. There is focus on corn and soybean harvested acreage estimates. Analyst estimates for corn harvested acres range from 83-87.4 million acres, compared to USDA's August estimate of 87.4 million acres. Cow and bull slaughter has declined below year-ago levels since mid-August. The report will provide updated estimates for U.S. and global crop production and supply/demand.
USDA will release its estimates for US and world agricultural output and usage on September 12th, including corn and soybean estimates. There is disagreement over corn yield estimates, ranging from 117.6 to 124 bushels per acre. Soybean estimates are expected to be slightly lower than August estimates. Cow and bull slaughter has declined significantly compared to last year since mid-August.

O documento discute o preço do leite pago ao produtor no Brasil em julho de 2013. O preço médio nacional do leite aumentou 3,6% em relação a junho, impulsionado pela forte demanda. A produção de leite aumentou em junho, mas ainda está abaixo da demanda das indústrias. As expectativas são de novos aumentos de preços em agosto devido à continuidade da demanda aquecida.
O documento discute o mercado de leite no Brasil em junho de 2013. A produção de leite continuou baixa devido ao período de entressafra, enquanto a demanda permaneceu firme, fazendo com que os preços pagos aos produtores aumentassem pelo quinto mês consecutivo. Os gastos com alimentação animal também subiram em junho, influenciados pela alta nos preços de suplementos. A expectativa é de novos aumentos nos preços do leite em julho.
O preço pago ao produtor de leite em maio foi o maior em cinco anos devido à baixa oferta causada pela escassez de alimentos para as vacas e atraso nas chuvas. A diminuição da oferta elevou os preços dos derivados e levou algumas indústrias a aumentarem os preços para reduzir as vendas com medo de não atender a demanda. No entanto, casos isolados de adulteração de leite no Rio Grande do Sul não devem comprometer a imagem e importância desse alimento essencial para a saúde.
O preço pago ao produtor de leite aumentou pelo terceiro mês consecutivo em abril, impulsionado pela queda na oferta. A expectativa é de que os preços continuem subindo em maio, apesar da possível elevação da produção no Sul. Os custos de produção, no entanto, permanecem altos, exigindo planejamento dos produtores.
A produção de leite no Brasil continuou em queda em fevereiro, restringindo a oferta e aumentando a disputa pelos suprimentos entre as indústrias. Como resultado, os preços pagos aos produtores subiram 2,53% em março. A maioria dos agentes de mercado espera que os preços continuem aumentando em abril devido à oferta limitada e demanda constante.

This document discusses the differences between federally inspected (FI) slaughter and commercial slaughter data reported by the USDA. FI slaughter occurs in plants inspected by the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service and accounts for over 98% of cattle and 99% of hog slaughter. The USDA publishes daily and weekly FI slaughter reports that provide estimates of slaughter numbers and production. Commercial slaughter data comes from state-inspected plants and is reported monthly with more detailed information. The document provides an overview of several key USDA reports and the differences between FI and commercial data sources.
- Pork production reached record high levels in Q4 2012 despite warnings about high feed costs reducing meat supplies. However, pork production trends had shifted downward beginning in 2008 with the surge in corn prices above $4/bushel.
- Prior to 2008, all major meat production species were growing steadily each quarter. The spike in grain costs disrupted this and caused production cuts, especially after prices rose above $6-7/bushel.
- Had grain costs not increased as sharply, meat production for all species would be significantly higher now, providing billions of additional pounds of protein for consumers each quarter.
- Corn planting progress is off to a slow start in 2013, with only 2% of acres planted nationally by mid-April, compared to a 5-year average of 7% planted. Several key corn-producing states are lagging behind their normal planting paces.
- While slow planting progress is not disastrous, the entire 2013 corn crop will be closely watched given tight supplies. However, 2008 and 2009 had similarly slow starts but ended with good yields.
- Cattle and hog producers face high feed costs and low prices, suggesting significant losses for the remainder of 2013 despite some expected cost declines later in the year. Hog producers may see better prospects in 2014 if costs continue to fall as projected.
The USDA discontinued the voluntary National Carlot Pork Report and will instead track two mandatory pork reports providing pricing on an FOB Plant and FOB Omaha basis. This change was made to provide better visibility into wholesale pork pricing. While some wanted the reports published side by side for six months, continuing the voluntary report proved impractical as packers stopped reporting to it once the mandatory reports began on April 1st. The mandatory reports have consistently shown prices around 4 cents or 5% higher than the voluntary report, suggesting the voluntary report did not provide full visibility previously.
The document provides updates to global agricultural supply and demand estimates for various commodities including wheat, coarse grains, rice, oilseeds, sugar, and cotton for the 2012/13 period. Key points include:
- U.S. wheat ending stocks are projected to be 15 million bushels higher. Global wheat supplies and trade are also projected to increase.
- U.S. coarse grain ending stocks are projected to be higher led by a 125 million bushel increase in corn ending stocks. Global coarse grain production is projected to increase 1.1 million tons.
- U.S. rice domestic use is projected to decrease 5 million cwt, increasing ending stocks. Global rice production is projected at
1) The statistics for US meat exports reported monthly by the US Census Bureau and weekly by USDA through its export sales reporting system have become increasingly difficult to reconcile in recent months.
2) The monthly Census data shows a 36% decline in US beef exports to Mexico in January 2013, while the weekly data reported a 19% increase.
3) A comparison of monthly official beef export statistics and implied monthly exports from the weekly data shows they are dramatically different since 2012, possibly due to a change in commodity classification codes.
USDA issued its latest forecasts for 2013 beef, pork, and poultry production in April. The biggest revision was a reduction in the beef production forecast of 230 million pounds or 0.9% to 24.976 billion pounds total. This likely reflects expectations for reduced cattle slaughter and slower weight gains in the second half of the year due to smaller feedlot placements. Imports were forecast to be up 0.4% while exports were down 0.6%. Per capita beef consumption in 2013 is now forecast to be 55.7 pounds, down 2.9% from 2012 despite reduced availability.
- Wholesale beef prices have remained volatile as cattle prices jumped briefly around Easter but have since drifted lower. Slow demand in the first quarter of 2013 has led to excess inventories and cautious purchasing by retailers and foodservice.
- Combined US steer and heifer slaughter so far in 2013 is running slightly below year-ago levels. Choice beef cutout prices are over 7% higher than last year due to demand for certain export-dependent cuts.
- After declining last year following the LFTB controversy, prices for fat beef trimmings have surged recently but it remains unclear if high prices can be sustained after Memorial Day.
- USDA will update its grain and meat protein balance sheets on April 10th following a March 1 grain stocks report that showed much larger corn stocks than expected
- Analysts expect USDA to revise its 2012/13 corn ending stocks estimate higher, with an average estimate of 824 million bushels
- Given this, the document discusses how USDA may adjust its estimates for corn exports, ethanol use, and feed use in the April report
