Regional Milk Market Administrators an nounced the following, October 2003 uniform Graystone Small Animal Sale LLC (Root’s Market Manheim, PA) Every Tuesday 4:30 pm Recusing 6 am till sale tune All kinds of Poultry, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Pigeons 717-898-0755 prices* Northeast $15.21, Mideast $l4 25, Southeast $16.07, Florida $17.67, and Western New York (a state order) $14.78 at the base city or county in the orders (For the Northeast, Mideast, and Western New York orders, statis tical uniform prices are reported.) During Octo ber, milk production in the 20 major states to taled 12 0 billion pounds, down 0.2% from October 2002. The following are the October-to- October changes for selected states Texas 7 6%, Vermont -2 3%, New York -3 6%, Florida -7 4%, Pennsylvania -7 5%, Kentucky -8 l r /r and Virginia-10 0% Milk production is mostly steady in most of the Northeast, steady to higher in the Southeast Heavy rains are covering much of the region and some flooding is causing scattered trans portation problems. Fluid milk supplies are very tight in the East. Contacts report even tighter supplies this week as bottlers increase produc tion runs to fill next week’s anticipated needs If history shows us anything, these same bottlers will be canceling loads early next week since schools will be closed. However, many bottlers will move their “down day” to the holiday and then start refilling pipelines on Friday. Florida’s need for milk increased this week as bottlers in creased orders and more “winter residents” are amving. The current, improved demand for Class I milk is pulling more milk from Class 111 & IV plants where the tight milk supply is real ly being felt. Many operations have cut back on their already reduced operating schedules. Con tacts are coping as best they can and milk is moving greater distances. The condensed skim market tone is little changed and prices are steady. Supplies are tight and few spot sales are reported. The fluid cream market is very Arm. Con tacts continue to report a shortage of cream all across the country. Plants in regions that typi cally supply cream to all regions are now look ing to buy cream. Spot prices are jumping as both last week’s CME average butter price and multiples have increased sharply in the past week and a half (This past Monday’s close on AA butter at the CME surprised many cream contacts when it dipped three cents.) Demand for cream is seasonally very good and some ac counts are not getting all they desire. Produc tion of bottled cream, egg nog, sour cream, dip, and cream cheese are quite heavy Ice cream output is also holding above anticipated levels. Churning activity is limited.
