Belly Flop 🥓🏊♀️☀️ , Latest Episode of Market Trends with Tracy | Summer’s wrapping up, but the markets are still making waves. Pork bellies take a dive, beef keeps the heat on, and chicken cools just in time for football season. From butter drops to grain gluts, it’s a late-summer belly flop across the board. BEEF: Prices keep climbing as production stays tight – 547K head harvested this week and even fewer expected with the holiday ahead. Chucks, grinds, ribeyes, and tenderloins are leading the charge, while strips are still the relative value. The market may cool off soon, but not yet – buy now, waiting will cost you money. POULTRY: Chicken prices finally cooled off for Labor Day – wings, breasts, and tenders are all down. Production is still running strong, about 1% ahead of last year, so we’ll take the win and enjoy cheaper chicken for now. One small avian flu case popped up, but nothing major. GRAINS: Another rally fizzled – corn harvest is pegged at a massive 16.7 billion bushels, keeping prices in check. Corn nudged up slightly to $3.94, while soy and wheat stayed flat. With crops this strong, the market’s still waiting for a spark to push things higher. PORK: Bellies slipped again, closing at $181 with more downside likely ahead. Butts and loins are steady, ribs are edging up, and overall production is running about 2% lower year-to-date. With nothing pushing demand higher, this market looks set to stay quiet for the next few weeks. DAIRY: CME gave back August’s gains – barrel down 2, block down 3, and butter dropping a sharp 14. After weeks of climbing, this market is sliding fast… will the downturn stick?

The Calm Before the Fall 📉🍂 , Latest Episode of Market Trends with Tracy | Sorry for the delay, we were on vacation on Friday. Market Updates for last week below! BEEF: Prices keep climbing across the board – ribeyes, tenderloins, chucks, and rounds are all on fire. With packers still losing money, production dropping, and the Southern border closed to live animal imports, pressure is building. Relief may come after Labor Day – but will it be too little, too late? POULTRY: Chicken stays strong with production up and demand steady – wings are flat for now while breasts and tenders ease a bit. Football season could give wings a lift, but the real watch is Avian Flu: after six clean weeks, a new case breaks the streak. Will cooler weather bring more trouble? GRAINS: Harvest is underway and while yields look good, they’re not record-shattering just yet. Corn is holding under $4 for a third straight week, soy is showing some strength on export demand, and wheat is slipping. The market looks steady – but will exports or tariffs be the wild card? PORK: Bellies look like they’ve peaked, slipping back to $182 from last week’s $194 – and likely heading lower into fall. With butts and loins down and ribs steady, pork remains one of the best buys on the menu. But is this the break buyers have been waiting for, or just a seasonal pause? DAIRY: After a couple of big weeks higher, the market eased back – barrel down 1½, block steady, and butter slipping just ½. The push has cooled for now, but will those gains start to melt further in the weeks ahead?

Grill Bills 🔥💳 , Latest Episode of Market Trends with Tracy | BEEF: The summer beef rally isn’t slowing down – low production and high demand are keeping prices on the move. Middle meats, chucks, rounds, and grinds are all climbing, setting us up for a pricey Labor Day BBQ. Will the market cool after the holiday, or will tight cattle supplies keep the heat on? POULTRY: Production is running 1% ahead of last year, with demand staying strong as chicken remains the go-to alternative to high beef prices. Wings are steady for now, but will football season send them higher? Six weeks with no new Avian Flu cases – let’s keep it going. GRAINS: Corn prices remain under $4 with a record U.S. harvest on the horizon – great for feeders, rough for farmers. But with soy inching up on palm oil tariffs and wheat holding steady, could this calm market be setting the stage for a surprise turn? PORK: Bellies cracked the $200 mark before slipping back – still riding high for now. But with just a few more weeks of seasonal strength left, will the fall bring the big break buyers have been waiting for? DAIRY: Cheese keeps climbing – barrel up 6, block up 4 – but butter’s the rebel, dropping 11 points. With baking season buying about to kick off, is the clock ticking on those lower butter prices?

Meating Market Heat 🔥🥩 , Latest Episode of Market Trends with Tracy | BEEF: Prices are surging in the dead of summer – and it’s not slowing down. With record-high cattle costs and packers losing $300 a head, the market’s acting more like spring than August… so what’s driving this upside? POULTRY: Chicken stays steady – strong production, strong demand, and no big price moves on the horizon. With five weeks flu-free and beef heating up, is poultry about to hold its ground or ride the market wave? GRAINS: Grains keep sliding – with corn dipping under $4 a bushel for the first time in a long while. Soy and wheat are following suit, but could strong soy meal exports shake things up? PORK: Pork bellies bounce back to $189 – and the strength may hold through month’s end. But with loins, butts, and ribs slipping, how long will the split market last? DAIRY:  The CME heats up – barrel jumps 11, block climbs 12, and butter bucks the trend, sliding 4.

Summer Slide ☀️🛝 , Latest Episode of Market Trends with Tracy | BEEF: The market’s still sliding, but not as fast as you'd think with production this tight. Ribeyes and tenderloins? We may have already hit the year's low – so is an expensive holiday season inevitable? Thin meats are dropping, grinds dipped too, but this market’s playing a long game. POULTRY: Chicken production is holding strong – wings are steady, breasts are ticking up, and tenders dipped a bit. Demand isn’t going anywhere, but will prices stay calm? Plus, we’re a month Avian flu-free – can we keep the streak alive? GRAINS: Strong crops, weak exports, and tariff concerns are pushing corn, soy, and wheat lower. Prices are slipping – but is this a true bargain, or just the calm before another shakeup? PORK: The pork market’s moving lower – and even bellies are along for the ride. Is this a one-week blip or the start of an early slide? We’ll need another week to see where this goes. DAIRY: After weeks of slipping, butter’s starting to climb again – but is it just a pause or a new trend? This week’s calm might be the quiet before the next churn.

Pork on Repeat 🎵🐖 , Latest Episode of Market Trends with Tracy | BEEF: The summer slide continues. Ribeyes and strips are dragging the market down, and briskets and grinds are finally dipping – but don’t let your guard down just yet. With production still sluggish, we’ve likely got a few more weeks of softness before fall starts cooking up something new. POULTRY: Demand is driving this market – wings, breasts, and tenders are all on the rise. With summer heat slowing growth and no sign of appetite cooling off, prices could keep climbing. Three Avian Flu-free weeks in a row? Let’s hope the streak sticks. GRAINS: Crops look great and prices are steady – for now. With new tariffs on deck and shifting global demand, especially for soy, the calm could break. Keep your eyes peeled… August might shake things up. PORK: Bellies keep climbing – $200 is in sight – while everything else takes a breather. Butts and loins are easing down, making loins a standout value. If you’re planning menus, now’s the time to think pork. DAIRY: Things are calm in cheese country – just a slight move in block and barrel this week. Butter’s taking the stairs down again, and it’s not done dropping yet. Could be more room to melt.

Meltdown Mode 🔥🧈📉 , Latest Episode of Market Trends with Tracy | BEEF: Beef is finally cooling off—but is it enough? Strip loins and ribeyes are leading the decline, but ground beef and roasts are holding firm. With production still lagging behind last year, could this be the start of a slow slide or just a summer stall? POULTRY: Chicken remains the go-to protein, but how long can it hold? Wings are flying high on demand, breasts and tenders are steady, and production is slightly up. No new Avian Flu reports this week, which is always good news. GRAINS: Soybeans are about to stir things up. Despite strong supply and a promising crop, new demand for biofuel could send prices climbing fast. Will corn and wheat follow suit? Stay tuned. PORK: Bellies keep marching higher, and there’s no sign of slowing. While other cuts ease off recent highs, bacon’s sizzling summer run looks far from over – will August bring the peak, or just more heat? DAIRY: Dairy takes a dip across the board this week – but is it the bottom, or just the beginning? With block, barrel, and butter all sliding, the market may have more room to melt.
