Weekly Market Update for 08/07/26
Valuable insights on the latest market price changes for eggs, butter, cheese, and cream products.
Here is a look at the markets:
Eggs:
The large shell egg market started to fall on Wednesday. Foodservice demand has fallen off as buyers are assessing inventory. Retail demand is characterized as good for this time of year. No change on mediums.
Butter:
The market has continued its erratic pattern with little explanation. Last week, the market went from $1.47 on Monday to $1.38 on Tuesday to $1.515 on Friday. This week the week started off with what appeared to be calmer seas but today shot up to $1.55. High Desert has struggled with production recently and there is a possibility of supply interruption next week if orders aren’t cleared to ship. For price shoppers, please consider the Country Maid as an alternative. On butter cups, the best value is on the Sommer Maid butter label (40495, 40500), especially with an impending price increase on the horizon from Grassland.
Cheese:
The block market is a little softer and quieter this week. We are now offering Dinner Bell label sliced processed American cheese (standard of identity with the real seal!). We have 160 white (code 40258) and 160 yellow (12212) along with white loaf (13813) and yellow loaf (13807). Inventories on Bongards sliced American are good at this time. On cream cheese, check out the attractive pricing on Sommer Maid 30lb bulk (40601) and 10/3lb (40600)!
