Dairy market update under 1987 budget act and holiday shifts
The Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 removes sequester discounts on CCC dairy contracts and adds a 2.5 cent per hundredweight tax for 1988 milk. November butter and cheese stocks fell year over year and month to month, with government shares down sharply. CPI for all food rose 3.32 percent, dairy up 2.32 percent. National Cheese Exchange prices steady, CCC purchases large, and dairy cattle slaughter/export totals documented. Wisconsin shipments to Michigan and strong bottling schedules near holidays reflect seasonal demand.
Holiday holiday slows beef market prices slide
Packers and processors stocked for the holiday period with steers and heifers down for the week as wholesale dressed beef movement slowed. Slaughter steers 1,000 to 1,550 pounds mostly 63 to 64 dollars, Holstein choices 58 to 60, cows 41 to 50, bulls steady, feeder supply light, pork steady to firm, lambs up 1 to 3 dollars, and Lake to Lake Dairy Cooperative pays 266000 to stockholders and debenture holders at 8 percent.
