BEEF

Beef remains pricey and hard to find – and even with harvest back up, prices are still climbing. Are we finally nearing a cooldown, or will thin meats keep leading this market higher into July?

POULTRY

Chicken is still the go-to protein, but are we seeing the first signs of a shift? Breast prices dip slightly, tenders rise again, and wings climb – plus, a glimmer of good news on the avian flu front.

GRAINS

Grain markets are idling in neutral, with only slight bumps across corn, soy, and wheat. With strong supply and good weather, what would it take to finally shake these markets loose?

PORK

The pork market is sizzling – bellies are on a summer run and bacon’s about to get pricey. Will anything cool it down, or are we just getting started?

🥩 BEEF
An already tight beef market just got tighter, and pricing is on the move. With thin meats leading the charge and grilling season in full swing, the question now is: how high will it go before the July 4th reset?

🍗 POULTRY
Wings are back on the rise, tenders are heating up, and breasts are finally cooling – but for how long? Just one new avian flu case – but it hit 1.3 million egg layers, pushing our 3-week total to 5 million birds lost.

🌾 GRAINS
Everyone’s bracing for a surge in the grain markets—but will it actually happen? With strong crops here and abroad and plenty of last year’s supply still around, the outlook might surprise you.

🥓 PORK
Pork prices are rising with the temps – bellies surged again, and butts and ribs are following. So what’s driving this climb, and will loins remain the sleeper deal of the summer?

🧈 DAIRY
Butter is back on the rise – hitting the highest prices since January – while barrels dip and blocks hold steady. Is this the start of a summer dairy rally or just a blip?

🥩 BEEF – The market’s tight and getting tighter. Fewer cattle, expensive steaks, and grinds climbing week after week mean burgers are the summer go-to. With no slowdown in sight, it’s a buy now or pay more later situation.

🐔 POULTRY – Breasts are pausing after a steady climb, while tenders are still on the rise with strong demand. Wings are steady at the bottom, and chicken overall remains the budget-friendly protein pick. Another rough week for avian flu—fewer cases, but big impact.

🌾 GRAINS – Last week’s corn rally fizzled, with corn, soy, and wheat all slipping lower. Good crop conditions here and abroad plus shaky export demand are keeping this market in check.

🥓 PORK – Pork pricing continues its climb with bellies at $150, up from $143. Butts and ribs are on the rise as production slows seasonally, while loins remain the best value on the board.

🧈 DAIRY – The CME rally rolls on: barrel up 2, block up 3, and butter surging 14. Momentum’s still on dairy’s side with more upside likely.

🐄 BEEF:
Border closures, parasite threats, and tight supplies – yeah, it’s getting intense. Grinds and thin meats are climbing, middle meats are taking a breather. Memorial Day will tighten harvest even more. This is a buy now or cry later kind of market.

🐔 POULTRY:
Chicken’s still climbing – breasts, tenders, all holding strong. Wings? Still the bargain. But a big bump in avian flu cases could shake things up.

🌾 GRAINS:
Corn and wheat are on the rise as the market bets on stronger export demand. Soy lost some steam midweek but is still holding strong. Crop progress? Ahead of schedule and looking great.

🐖 PORK:
Butts and ribs are heating up as production tightens and demand stays strong. Bellies dipped slightly to $143 but are likely to hold steady for now before summer moves them higher.

🧀 DAIRY:
CME markets are climbing this week – Barrel up 6, Block up 7, Butter up 1. Looks like this upward trend could keep rolling for a few more weeks.

BEEF 🥩
Record-breaking cattle prices, border closures, and tight supply are all putting heat on the beef market. Grinds are leading the charge, and summer grilling might come with sticker shock.

POULTRY 🐔
Chicken stays hot as demand rises and beef prices push more eyes to poultry. Wings still can’t catch a break, but breasts and tenders are on the move. Avian flu update: a few new cases, mostly turkeys.

GRAINS 🌾
Corn and soy planting are ahead of schedule and looking strong. Soy demand is picking up – could be setting the stage for a long-awaited lift. Wheat’s holding steady.

PORK 🐖
Bellies are creeping up but likely holding steady for a bit. Butts are building some momentum, while loins remain the sleeper deal in the protein world.

DAIRY 🧀
A quiet week with mixed moves on the board – barrel down, block and butter up just a touch. Bigger shift coming in June as barrel pricing gets phased out, but for now, expect a slow and steady climb.

Beef remains tight — production ticks up slightly, but grilling season and shifting demand are pushing grinds higher. Some middle meats are cooling, others still heating up.

Poultry prices still split — tenders climb, breasts stay high, wings dip again. Production’s up and bird flu cases stayed low this week.

Grains drift down — corn and wheat slide, soy holds firm. Ethanol chatter could shake things up.

Pork cools off — bellies dip, loins still a solid value, and butts barely budge. Summer could bring the heat back.

Dairy bounce back — after two weeks down, prices climb again. Not a rally yet, but some upside remains.

The beef market is catching its breath, but ground beef continues to climb as shoppers trade down from pricier cuts. Could this pause be the calm before another round of increases?

Chicken takes a breather this week, but there’s chatter about a possible summer sandwich surge. Plus, a surprisingly quiet week on the avian flu front during peak migration season.

Grain markets are stuck in a holding pattern, but talk of drought and rising oil prices could stir things up. Planting’s on track – for now.

Dairy prices continue to slide, with barrels, blocks, and butter all moving lower. A major change is coming in June with the USDA removing the 500# barrel from pricing formulas – something to keep an eye on.

Beef production remains limited as packers focus on profit over volume, keeping middle meats inflated heading into summer. Chucks and rounds are softening, while ground beef is climbing as consumers trade down. Buy early – prices aren’t cooling off anytime soon.

In poultry, boneless skinless breasts and tenders continue to climb, while wings drop again, making them the value buy. Production is steady at 1% above last year, which will likely continue. No new avian flu reports this week – though USDA updates have stalled, likely due to reduced services, not reduced risk.

Grain markets are steady overall. Corn and wheat saw small declines, while soy is trending up with potential for more gains as palm oil tariffs push oil markets higher. Early planting is off to a strong start.

Pork production is slowing slightly. Bellies climbed to $143 and could keep rising into late spring, so stocking up isn’t a bad idea if you’ve got the freezer space. Butts and ribs are showing mild strength, while loins remain steady.
