Weekly Animal Feed report: Central U.S.: Oct. 06, 2022

Dry whey prices moved lower at every facet excepting the bottom of the range, which shifted up a few cents. Contacts say current trading has found a "comfort zone" in the low $.40s. Producers remain hesitant about offering below the $.45 mark, but end users remain aware of the limited amounts of whey moving through export channels from processing plants both within the region and in the West. Recent hurdles regarding production seem to have been at least somewhat alleviated, as more milk is moving into Class III channels and some at discounts this week. Dry whey supplies are not overwhelming, but demand is subdued.

  • Prices for Central U.S., All First Sales, FOB, Conventional and Non-Edible Dry Whey Price Range Animal Feed, $/lb: .3200 - .3600.
  • Prices for Central U.S., All First Sales, FOB, Extra Grade & Grade A, Conventional and Edible Dry Whey Price Range: Non-Hygroscopic, $/lb: .4025 - .4700; Mostly Range: Non-Hygroscopic, $/lb: .4300 - .4500.

Dairy Market Review: Oct. 07, 2022

BUTTER: Grade AA closed at $3.2175. The weekly average for Grade AA is $3.2225 (+0.0740).

CHEESE: Barrels closed at $2.2250 and 40# blocks at $2.0225. The weekly average for barrels is $2.2270 (+0.0290) and blocks, $2.0150 (+0.0265).

CHEESE HIGHLIGHTS: In the Midwest, downtime at some cheese plants and increasing milk production are contributing to lower spot milk prices. Demand for cheese varies across markets and regions. Midwest cheese sales are meeting or exceeding stakeholder expectations. Contacts in the Northeast and West report strong demand for cheese from international purchasers. In the Midwest, cheese availability varies but stakeholders say loads of process cheese are quickly being purchased when they become available due to order cancellations.

BUTTER HIGHLIGHTS: Cream volumes heading to states affected by hurricane Ian were moved to different parts of the country. Butter churning is increasing in the Central region. Meanwhile in the Northeast, production is mixed as churning has halted in some production facilities, but others are operating steadily. In the West, butter production is lighter due to maintenance at some production facilities.

FLUID MILK HIGHLIGHTS: Farm milk production is trending steady to higher across much of the United States. Favorable weather and cooler temperatures in some regions have aided cow comfort and have helped support milk flows. That said, the disruption caused by Hurricane Ian is forcing milk handlers to juggle milk collections and deliveries. In parts of Florida, farm milk pickups and retail restocking have been limited in some areas. The storms in the Southeast also shifted some hauling routes, keeping a lot of fluid milk and cream from moving out of the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic states into Southeastern facilities. As processors come back online, milk handlers are working to refill those pipelines.
