The condensed skim market is im proved this week as suppliers, basing their price on November Class 111 skim milk price predictions, have moved wet solids prices more in line with NDM. However, NDM is still priced below a dollar per pound Demand for wet solids has “perked up” this week particularly from the aforementioned cheese plants that stepped up output. Some plants that were drying have now stopped because of the improved demand for wet solids. Prices for condensed skim are steady to lower with Class 111 sales mostly in the lower portion of the range. The fluid cream market is not as weak as it has been Supplies are in much better balance this week. Spot prices are a little higher as both the CME average butter price and multiples moved a little higher Supplies are m better balance this week Demand has improved from ice cream makers, cream cheese & sour cream producers, and bottlers. Reports indicate that the demand from bottlers has been significantly higher this week and some operations may have to add shifts or run on Saturday to Fill all the orders Egg nog production has been on and off as producers make “a few batches” to fill anticipated Thanksgiv ing needs. Cream cheese output is in creasing as producers continue to purchase spot loads of cream to supple ment contracted volumes Ice cream pro duction is heavier as plants try to build stocks ahead of Thanksgiving-week shut downs. Churning activity is steady to slightly heavier. Some operations that were not churning a few weeks ago are now making a little butter. This is often to balance their cream supply.
