1 Beef, Veal and Lamb Report May 5, 2016 Beef, Veal & Lamb - Beef output last week rose.3% and was 6.3% larger than the same week last year. Strong beef packer margins are fueling the increase in production. Cattle slaughter last week was the biggest in 23 months. Even lower cattle prices are anticipated in the coming months which should fuel solid year over year increases in beef output. The USDA is projecting summer beef output to be 5.4% more than Beef demand has been good with spot shipments during the last four weeks averaging 8% above the prior year. However, the surge in production has weighed heavy on the beef markets. Still, several beef markets are likely to find support soon, as the grilling season expands.

2 Grains corn and soybean crop planting is progressing. As of May 1 st, 45% of the corn crop had been sowed which is well ahead of norm. Still, the weather during the July through September period will be much more important to the crops. Corn and soybean prices could move lower in the short run.

3 Dairy The cheese markets have continued to trade at relatively engaging levels for buyers during the last few weeks. Class IV milk futures are averaging near 3% above class III which could siphon some milk out of cheese production. Thus, the longer term downside price risk in the cheese markets from here is believed to be minimal. Still, seasonal charts suggest that cheese prices should remain relatively weak in the near term. The butter market remains historically elevated. For butter prices to fall notably lower from here, it will likely take solid appreciating in nonfat dry milk prices.

4 Pork Pork production last week declined 4.5% and was.4% less than last year. Average daily pork output during the first quarter of this year was down slightly from the previous year. However, the USDA is projecting total spring and summer pork production to be nearly 2% bigger than This should temper any seasonal pork price increases. Pork belly prices have softened in recent weeks. However, history suggests that higher pork belly prices could be forthcoming. Last year the pork belly cutout rose 12% during the next two weeks.

5 Poultry Chicken production for the week ending April 23 rd rose 1.9% and was 4.5% better than the same week a year ago. Year to date chicken output is tracking 3.1% above Despite this, the chicken breast markets have rallied as of late. The ARA Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Index has risen 20% during the last two months. However, this index is still at its least expensive level for early May in 11 years. Further chicken breast price increases are likely in the coming weeks as both wholesale and retail are presenting historical value. The chicken leg quarter markets continue to rise as well as export demand recovers. Chicken leg quarter prices usually peak in mid-may however it may be late summer before leg quarters top this year.

6 Seafood Low fuel prices are encouraging solid domestic shrimp landings despite low shrimp prices. March Gulf of Mexico shrimp landings were 110% larger than last year and the biggest since at least through March shrimp landings were the most in four years. Still, a lower value U.S. dollar signals that the greater risk in shrimp prices is to the upside.

8 Produce The tomato markets have continued to trade at relatively engaging levels for buyers during the last week with the large mature green market falling to its lowest level in nearly a year. This is due in part to improving supplies out of Florida where shipments rose 33% last week. Further, imports from Mexico last week were 31% better than the same week in Fairly attractive tomato prices are anticipated to endure during the next few weeks.
