Weekly Animal Feed, Central U.S.: July 14, 2022

Dry whey prices were unchanged on a very slow trading week. Cheesemakers are busy with plenty of milk in the summer months, but the strong discounts of previous weeks were not reported during week 28. There are some differing views on near term milk availability, while staffing shortness and plant downtimes are also creating more potential questions than answers. That said, dry whey demand is quiet, regardless. Domestic customers are hesitant, as markets have been under some noticeable pressure.

USDA, Dairy Market Review: July 15, 2022

BUTTER: Grade AA closed at $2.9300. The weekly average for Grade AA is $2.9470 (-0.0005).

CHEESE: Barrels closed at $2.0700 and 40# blocks at $1.9950. The weekly average for barrels is $2.1375 (-0.0381) and blocks, $2.0765 (-0.0148).

CHEESE HIGHLIGHTS: Milk is available for cheesemaking throughout the country. Contacts in the Midwest report spot trades of milk have slowed this week as high temperatures in the region are impacting milk output. Production is steady in the Midwest and West, while Northeast cheese makers are running active production schedules. Cheese inventories are available in the West and are reportedly growing in the Northeast. In the Midwest, cheese inventories are somewhat balanced with current demand.

BUTTER HIGHLIGHTS: Cream availability is tightening in the Northeast and West. Demand for cream is strong in the West. In the Central region, spot cream loads remain available, despite higher temperatures impacting cow comfort and farm level milk production. Butter production is steady to lower in the Northeast. In the Central and West regions, contacts say staffing shortages are preventing them from running at capacity. Throughout the country, domestic demand is softening.

FLUID MILK HIGHLIGHTS: Milk production is steady to lower through much of the nation as summer heat takes hold. The exception is the Pacific Northwest, where favorable weather has improved cow comfort and temporarily increased milk output. Spot milk loads are available in the Upper Midwest, but purchases and offers are lower than previous weeks. Reported spot milk prices are $3 to $1 under Class III in the Midwest and $6 under Class IV in the mountain states. In the West, some milk is moving from California and the mountain states into neighboring states.
