Trucklot buying activity ranged fair to
no better than moderate as dealers re
mained cautious and selective. Offerings
of boneless skinless breasts were available
and bone-in breasts were fully adequate
and discounted. Dark meat cuts were
adequate, but manageable with drum
sticks in the best position. Tenderloins
were adequate to available. Retail and
distributive draw was only fair at best
with scattered features providing the best
movement. The market tone was barely
steady to weak on bone-in breasts, barely
steady on boneless-skinless breasts and
about steady on the balance.

lower to 3 cents higher. Com 2-5 cents
higher. Sorghum was 8-9 cents higher.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Due to recent
changes in milk supply agreements, milk
import/export totals are not directly com
parable to year ago figures and to ship
ments prior to April 1,2003.
Milk production is easing additionally
in the Southeast, while ranging steady to
lower in the Northeast. Heat and humidi
ty are taking their toll on the cows in
Florida and other Gulf Coast States and
handlers report lighter weights on farm
route trucks. Florida handlers note that
exports to manufacturing are down this
week, but may rebound next week when
retail features conclude.
Rain continues to fall across parts of
New York and New England. This is de
laying some field work and haying. Con
tacts report that incoming milk volumes
are easing from peak levels and that fat
and protein tests are slipping. This is typi
cal for this time of year when quality hay
and other feed supplies tighten. Also,
there have been reports that the low price
for milk has forced some farmers to alter
their feeding practices, particularly in re
gard to supplements. Schools in the
Northeast are closing this week or next
and bottlers expect order to drop off sig
nificantly late this week. This should/
could push more milk into manufactur
ing. There is ample capacity to handle
any extra milk in the region.
The condensed skim market is little
changed. Spot demand and prices are un
changed. Offerings range from fully ade
quate to ample.
The fluid cream market has finned
considerably in the past few weeks. Con
tacts report that supplies have tightened
and demand has improved. Offerings are
tight and some reports note that West
Coast cream is starting to be shipped
across the country. Spot prices have
moved significantly higher. With the
CME butter price holding as steady as it
has been, suppliers are adjusting multi
ples to reflect the tightness of supply and
increased demand. Suppliers and produc
ers are getting more calls looking for
cream. This is at a time when they also
are looking for loads to supplement their
short supply. There was a report from one
supplier that skim milk demand was off
this week and this did affect the volumes
of cream they had to offer. With schools
winding down cream availability from
standardization will decrease, but these
volumes may be offset by more milk mov
ing through separators at butter/powder
plants. Bottled cream sales are improving
seasonally. Ice cream production is pick
ing up. However, the relatively cool, rainy
weather is hurting consumption. Soft
serve mix sales are fair. Cream cheese
output is about steady and some of the
large producers are actively out looking
for additional loads of cream. Churning
activity is often lighter as some butter
makers are selling their own cream at
current market prices.
