Dave’s Weekly Market Update — August 4th, 2022

Good afternoon to all,

Eggs:

Eggs dropped in a big way this week. Supplies are “burdensome”. Always a crazy market overreacting in both directions. We are hearing the drops will continue, but at a slower pace. 

Butter:

Butter broke through the glass ceiling this week by closing over the $3.00 mark. Cream has been so tight that many are just selling the cream at high multipliers rather than churning butter.

I still feel that there is more to come and we will probably not go much below the $3.00 mark and will see higher numbers. Let’s see if my crystal ball is working or not. Crazy times trying to guess the markets.

Cheese:

Both the Block and the Barrel dropped aggressively this week. The close is lower than the average so chances are prices will dip again next week. Not a great time to have millions of dollars tied up in cheese but we need to keep you supplied.

A note on the Hilldale cheese by Land O Lakes.  They are cutting all orders by around 50% now and we are experiencing some shortages. They are claiming it could last the whole month of August.
