Dave’s Weekly Market Update for 12/19/25
Valuable insights on the latest market price changes for eggs, butter, cheese, and cream products.
Eggs:
The egg market continues to fall rapidly as supplies far exceed demand. We will be lowering some Newberg further processed eggs this week also as that market is also under pressure.
Butter:
Butter dropped once again this week in moderate trading. I am at a loss in trying to predict what the near-term future will be. January is usually the time that produces start putting away butter for the 4th quarter as demand is lower then, and it allows for extra production to be frozen and stored for later use. Time shall tell!
Cheese:
I was thinking that cheese was heading back up, but today’s drop took care of that! Attractively low prices at the moment but with the markets performing as they have been it makes buyers leery to stock up at these low prices. Will it drop more, or will it turn around and rally? It is a really tough call after watching the markets in the recent past.
Cheese:
Cream cheese didn’t move this week, and most cream will be dropping for January. I did see that Hood is going up as they have their own way of doing their pricing.
