Weekly Animal Feed, Central U.S.: Sept. 05, 2024
Dry whey prices moved higher on the bottom of the range and bottom of the mostly price series this week. Spot trading activity was moderate to quiet, but that is due to limited spot availability more than lack of interest. Class III processors are reporting spot milk loads wholly above Class again after only one week in which milk prices were reported at Class. Processors continue to suggest that spot market dry whey will not be available potentially for the rest of this month. Animal feed whey markets are mirroring edible grade markets' bullish timbre, as prices increased on both sides of the range.

Dairy Market Review: Sept. 06, 2024
BUTTER: Grade AA closed at $3.1750. The weekly average for Grade AA is $3.1594 (-0.0226).
CHEESE: Barrels closed at $2.2750 and 40# blocks at $2.2700. The weekly average for barrels is $2.2588 (+0.0473) and blocks $2.2363 (+0.1083).
CHEESE HIGHLIGHTS:Contacts relay cheese production schedules vary from steady to lighter throughout the U.S. In the East, milk availability for Class III processors is tempered by strong Class I bottling demand. In the Central region, contacts report spot milk prices ranging from $1/cwt to $2.50/cwt over Class III. That said, some cheesemakers relay getting no spot milk offers, and cheese production remains seasonally lighter. Some processors share they are shifting production focus away from blocks and back into barrels. Contacts in the West are running steady cheese production schedules despite tight spot milk availability. Some manufacturers share there are limited cheese inventories available for interested spot purchasers.
BUTTER HIGHLIGHTS: In the West, butter demand varies from steady to stronger for the retail and food service sectors. In the Central region, butter demand is stronger for both as well with seasonal strength gathering. For the East, retail demand is stronger, and food service demand is steady. Cream supplies are looser with the holiday weekend contributing to market availability of loads. However, not enough to make cream volumes abundantly available throughout the country. Butter production paces mostly vary from steady to stronger. Bulk butter overages range from minus 7 to 10 cents above market, across all regions.
FLUID MILK HIGHLIGHTS:The unceasing milk production carried on across the country despite the holiday weekend. Farm level milk production proceeds to weaken over much of the East and Midwest. Processors there are feeling the pinch in production. Reported spot milk prices in the Midwest ranged from $1-over to $2.50 over Class III. Cooler temperatures are being seen over some parts of both regions, and farmers are anticipating the effects in the coming weeks. Demands for cream and condensed skim are steady to strong. Spot loads of condensed skim are a rarity in most of the country. Cream multiples range from 1.15 - 1.50 in the East, 1.16 - 1.34 in the Midwest, and 1.10- 1.30 in the West.
