Weekly Animal Feed, Central U.S.: Jan. 19, 2023
The dry whey price range expanded this week, after contracting during week two. The mostly series shifted lower at both ends, though. Regionally, more offers are being entertained at/around the mid $.30s, than in previous weeks. End users are aware of the strength in both milk production and Class III processing in recent months. Additionally, as China has imported less dairy commodities from most global exporters, including domestic U.S. outfits, there has been a general shift away from the processing of the bearish high protein blends and a growth in sweet whey drying.
Prices for Central U.S., All First Sales, FOB, Conventional and Non-Edible Dry Whey Price Range Animal Feed, $/lb: .2900 - .3200.
Prices for Central U.S., All First Sales, FOB, Extra Grade & Grade A, Conventional and Edible Dry Whey Price Range: Non-Hygroscopic, $/lb: .3200 - .4500; Mostly Range: Non-Hygroscopic, $/lb: .3450 - .4000.
Dairy Market Review: Jan. 13, 2023
BUTTER: Grade AA closed at $2.3225. The weekly average for Grade AA is $2.3581 (-0.0689).
CHEESE: Barrels closed at $1.5800 and 40# blocks at $1.8350. The weekly average for barrels is $1.6581 (-0.1134) and blocks, $1.9569 (-0.1731).
CHEESE HIGHLIGHTS: Milk is available for cheese production throughout the country. In the Northeast and Midwest, spot loads of milk are being offered below Class prices, and some cheesemakers are reporting prices as low as $10 under class for the fourth week in a row. In the Northeast and West, stakeholders say retail and export cheese sales are steady, but football playoffs are contributing to increased mozzarella demand from pizza makers in food service markets. Demand for cheese varies in the Midwest: some contacts say demand remains quiet, while others, particularly retail cheddar and Italian/pizza style cheesemakers, are reporting an uptick in cheese sales.
BUTTER HIGHLIGHTS: Across all regions, cream is available for processing. In the West, cream multiples moved higher at the lower end with volumes being sold flat to market this week. Butter makers are utilizing available cream to run busy schedules. Some Central region contacts say they are currently catching up on their micro-fixing needs.
FLUID MILK HIGHLIGHTS: Farm milk production is moving higher, following seasonal patterns. In the East, the northern portion of the region is seeing an average increase alongside active Class I bottling demand. In the Midwest, milk production is consistently moving higher week to week and supports a Class III milk discount that is ten dollars under Class.
