Ken Maxfield on LinkedIn: Hides and Skins FAX (2024)

Today’s USDA Export Sales Report confirms the suspicions of pundits that suppliers continue to struggle for sales. Combined sales this week at 316,200 hides sets a new marketing year low, breaking the record which was set last week of 325,500 hides. Overall, it continues to appear as if there simply is not enough demand for the limited number of hides being produced (on a historical basis we would usually see harvest numbers around 660,000 head this time of year).The good news for suppliers is we will see haolidsy shortened harvest numbers coming up with the holidays. Meanwhile consensus of the trade is suppliers have more hides for sale than they are willing to admit and highly likely suppliers will continue to face underlying pressure as we move into the New Year.

Today’s USDA Export Sales Report is underwhelming. Sales of wet-salted hides is a marketing year low, while shipments are 2nd lowest of the year. In other news, sales of wet-blue hides poor as well and 46% under the average for the quarter. Shipments of wet-blue are 6% lower than quarterly average. However, weekly production of w/b estimated to be north of 150,000 hides / week and shipments are averaging only 120,000 hides. Report was interpreted as bearish, leading to thoughts several US producers do not possess the sold positions they are advertising.
