Weekly Market Update for 10/23/26
Valuable insights on the latest market price changes for eggs, butter, cheese, and cream products.
Here is a look at the markets:
Eggs:
Eggs – Retail demand remains weak. The market is down $.02/dozen on all sizes this week. Prices on cage-free will be lower for next week on most sizes.
Butter:
The market seems to be riding the teeter-totter! This month we have seen a low of $1.25 and a high of $1.385. At any sign of a trend, the market quickly changes direction. This is the time of year when industrial sales draw down bulk butter inventories. Bulk supply is tightening, with most suppliers not having any surplus. Please reach out to your sales rep if you have needs on bulk.
Cheese:
Industry experts seem puzzled at the recent explosion in the block market! From October 1 to October 20, the block rose $.50 before coming off the last two days. It is hard to believe in back-to-back weeks we are going to see market gains of nearly $.20/lb! There is the sentiment that buyers have been getting more aggressive when the market dipped below $1.30 a couple weeks ago along with good export orders and possibly some milk moving out of cheese. One supplier this week requested that orders be moved out another week as there was not enough milk available for cheese production. The hope is that this is isolated and short-term.
Fluid Dairy:
Prices on heavy cream are lower for October, but higher on sour cream, cottage cheese and half & half.
For the most complete lineup of dairy products, count on Sommer Maid for quality, consistency, and value!
