Hot weather continues to plague the
East. Record high temperatures are
being record an most of the Morthdut
Cow comfort is a big issue and milk pro
duction is falling in all areas of the
region. Along with the falling output, fat
and protein tests (yields) are lower. The
hot weather is also causing some plant
efficiency problems. Fluid milk supplies
are lighter, but the generally slow bottled
milk sales are keeping surplus milk vol
umes fairly steady. More Southeastern
schools are reopening next week and
bottlers are ordering more milk. Han
dlers are pulling more milk in from
Northern states. Florida’s imports are
not taking too much milk this week, but
volumes are expected to jump next week
when school lunch bottling “kicks in.”
So far, milk shipments into the South
east are coming from New York, Massa
chusetts, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and
lowa.
The condensed skim market un
changed, but prices for Class in con
tinue to inch higher at the low end of the
range. Demand for wet solids is good,
particularly from cheese makers trying
to improve their yields and output. How
ever, as wet solids’ prices move higher,
some users are looking to NDM as a less
expensive source of solids.
The fluid cream market is little
changed. Demand is good, but offerings
are heavier than some might expect
when milk supplies are tightening. Re
ports indicate that quite a few loads of
Eastern cream are moving to butter
makers in the Midwest. Eastern butter
makers are less eager to churn and build
inventories at current butter prices. Most
are using their inventories to fill retail
orders. More often, these butter makers
are selling their own cream on the spot
market if they can. Spot prices are gen
erally higher as the average price of
butter at the CME increased more than
two cents last week. Ice cream produc
tion (s steady at seasonally heavy levels.
The high cost of butterfat is still a big
concern to most mix and ice cream
makers.
Cream cheese production is steady to
a little heavier. Some producers are
buying some extra loads of cream this
week. Bottled cream sale are fair to good
as UHT plants are taking in a little more
cream this week.
