The mercury is rising and hot summer conditions are taking a toll on cows across the country. High temperatures are causing milk output and component levels to fall with important implications for the milk market. Spot milk availability has tightened up in most areas and manufacturers that want to get their hands on extra volumes find themselves paying a premium. As component levels dip in the heat, cream has tightened up as well. This phenomenon has driven cream multiples up, especially in the Central part of the country. Class I demand remains understated as most institutions are on summer holidays, which is helping to mitigate tension in the system. https://t.co/xyDq3vCUcg

China’s dairy sector continues to adjust under ample domestic milk supply, with production expected to remain broadly stable in 2026 as processors shift milk toward higher-value products such as butter and cheese. Weak retail demand and reduced use of reconstituted milk weigh on whole milk powder consumption, while foodservice and bakery expansion support steady growth in butter and cheese use. Post forecasts imports of WMP and SMP to decline due to weaker demand, while butter imports remain broadly stable and cheese imports increase to meet demand for higher-quality products. Whey demand remains firm, supported by feed and food applications, with China continuing to rely on imports despite short-term fluctuations

Screwworm confirmed in Texas calf, Zavala County, June 3, 2026 (USDA/TAHC).

Quarantine established in infested zone; animal movement restricted.

Milk/dairy: Localized quarantines may force short-term milk dumping on affected farms if processing access is limited. Texas, a top dairy state, could see modest supply dips and slight price increases. National impacts minimal if contained quickly.

Beef: Reduced Mexican imports and minor herd effects like treatment costs could tighten supplies modestly, supporting mildly higher prices. No major shortages expected with rapid response.

Sterile fly releases and inspections underway for eradication. Past outbreaks in Mexico showed production losses and higher costs, but containment limited damage. US preparedness suggests regional, temporary effects with national markets adjusting smoothly

As fed cattle weights hit historic highs, a surplus of fat trim is creating an unprecedented need for lean blending beef, pushing cull cow values to new records. https://t.co/vQLpYQG1do
