EDITOR’S NOTE: Due to changes in
milk supply agreements, milk import/
export totals are not directly comparable
to year ago figures and to shipments prior
to April 1,2003.
Milk production continues to decrease
in most of the region. Contacts state that
the heat and humidity in the Southeast
continue to take their toll on milk output.
In the Carolinas, route truck weights are
dropping daily and this is at a time when
the milk flow in this area normally starts
increasing. In the Middle Atlantic area,
milk production is about steady. Recent
rains and cooler weather have helped
milk output rebound slightly in scattered
areas. Farther north, milk production is
mostly steady at low levels. Milk supplies
remain tight throughout the region. Flori
da handlers continue to import heavy vol
umes and handlers in other Southeastern
states are also buying some outside milk.
Florida’s imports are nearly the same as
last week, but contacts report that bottle
rs’ plants are nearly full and expect needs
for next week to be lighter. Last week
suppliers in the other Southeastern states
were really strapped to find enough milk
to meet needs and had to reach greater
distances to find loads. Typically, after a
week of over-ordering by bottlers,
cancellations are rather common this
week. These cancellations are not off
setting the current tight supply, but they
are helping ease the need for “distant
milk.” However, some milk was pur
chased to supplement normal supply
shortages. Schools in the Northeast are re
opening this week and bottlers are busy
filling these orders. Many bottlers have
eased back on their schedules after oper
ating as heavy as they could last week.
Surplus milk volumes are light and most
manufacturing operations are adjusting
schedules accordingly. A few reports note
that cheese plants stepped up output, but
most are not operating on full schedules.
Butter/powder plant receipts are very
light and the good call for skim milk and
Class II condensed skim is keeping dryers
inactive.
The condensed skim market is slow to
fair. There is little interest for Class 111
wet solids, but Class II condensed is mov
ing quite well. Prices are little changed
from the past few weeks.
The fluid cream market remains strong
and availability remains tight. Some extra
cream is available from standardizing fa
cilities (bottlers), but less is available from
manufacturing plants. Some Western
cream continues to be shipped across the
country to supplement local shortages.
Spot prices are mixed, but generally high
er. The one-cent drop in last week’s CME
butter average was often offset by higher
multiples. Demand from ice
cream producers is easing along
seasonal patterns, but the decline

shifts during the summer when demand
and help warrant, are getting back to
fall/winter patterns. Cream cheese output
is about steady. Bottled cream production
and sales are slowing seasonally. Churn

Most lots of 40-60 weight pigs have a sliding value from the negotiated
weight basis which is calculated on the actual average weight of the load
plus or minus .30-.40 per pound. Some early weaned lots have a slide of
.50-1.00 per pound. Early weaned pigs are under 19 days old. Estimated
lean value is projected to use slaughter weights with normal confinement
feeding conditions. Vaccination and health program values are not included
but health status should be disclosed.
