# Are dairy prices reaching a point of exhaustion? - McKeany-Flavell

> McKeany-Flavell reports that dairy prices surged to multi-year highs in late 2021, with Class IV near $25 per cwt and whey up 50% in Q4. Cheese peaked near $2.15 per lb before profit-taking pushed it back below $2.00. The firm questions whether these levels are sustainable, since they should encourage herd growth.
