# Weekly protein report: USDA dairy report shows mixed commodity prices and steady production

> The report introduction says USDA’s latest dairy update showed steady cheese production, varying milk supplies, and mixed prices across major dairy markets. The text also includes figures on US weekly pork and beef export sales and lower Mexican cattle import quotations at US border crossings.

## Why it matters

Steady cheese production and mixed dairy prices provide no clear directional signal for milk values or feed demand. The included meat-market figures indicate weaker beef bookings but do not establish a new dairy supply or demand driver.
