Good Afternoon and Happy Thursday!

Eggs:

The egg market is gradually rising this week as demand returns as more school systems reopen. It is nice to see it be gradual instead of the usual over reaction that the market normally does. I expect more next week and hope it stays moderate. Here is the recap from Urner Barry.

Can anyone use 57 cases of Sommer Maid 15/2 whole liquid eggs dated 9/7 for $1.00 lb? This is an opportunity for anyone who can use them quickly. 

Butter:

1.5 Million pounds changed hands at the CME this week and drove the market up. The future market on butter is $3.0475 for September and $3.00 for October. As I have been stating this market will probably remain high until late October. 

Cheese:

Both Block and Barrel declined this week. People are switching to lower cost options at the retail level (possibly explaining the jump in Barrels last week) and food service demand has weakened somewhat. 

Cream cheese:

We have plenty on hand of most SKU’s on cream cheese and we have lifted most of the allocations we were forced to impose due to our lack of supply. It does seem that things are loosening up. Please ask your rep about opportunities and some items we can negotiate on to help you move more product. 

Frank Wills is retiring today!
