From tightening beef supplies and climbing poultry prices to the first real lift in pork bellies and a dairy market finding its footing, this week feels like a shift. Nothing is running away yet, but momentum is building, and the next few weeks could look very different.BEEF: Tight production is keeping beef supported, with strips still climbing and Valentine's Day putting a floor under ribeyes and tenderloins. With a shrinking herd, there may be more upward pressure ahead.POULTRY: Avian Flu losses jumped again, already lifting egg prices, while chicken continues its steady climb – and there's still room to run.GRAINS: Heavy supplies kept corn flat and wheat slightly lower, with soy oil's push higher stalling – but this story isn't over yet.PORK: Bellies finally moved higher and should keep climbing into spring, pulling bacon along with them. This run may just be getting started.DAIRY: Butter led another week of gains as the dairy market firmed up, and the momentum could continue.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Markets are slowly building momentum as Valentine's Day demand begins to take shape. Beef inches higher, chicken keeps climbing, pork waits for its next move, dairy tests a rally, and grains remain quiet. The coming weeks will show whether this momentum sticks — or stalls.BEEF: Production pulled back last week as middle meats begin their seasonal climb toward Valentine's Day. With strips already charging higher and end cuts showing mixed signals, this market feels ready for its next move.POULTRY: Chicken prices keep pushing higher with no real resistance in sight. But a major jump in avian flu losses adds a new wildcard that could shift the story quickly.GRAINS: Grain markets continue drifting sideways, weighed down by ample supply. Until demand shows up in force, this quiet pattern looks set to continue.PORK: Bellies hesitated just as a rally seemed ready to start, leaving pork in value territory a bit longer. The question now is how long this pause really lasts.DAIRY: Dairy keeps rallying, but recent trading raises doubts about how strong this move really is. The next couple of weeks should reveal whether this run has legs.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Winter's grip on the markets is starting to loosen. Beef has turned higher sooner than expected, chicken keeps climbing, pork begins its spring setup, dairy shows signs of life, and grains remain frozen in place. This early shift may be subtle — but it could shape the market mood for the weeks ahead.BEEF: The post-holiday slide is officially over, and beef is turning back up sooner than expected. Middle meats are leading the shift, with the rest of the complex quietly following. Any values left may not stick around long.POULTRY: Chicken keeps climbing as strong demand meets steady production. With avian flu still present and prices already moving, this market looks set to stay on the offensive for a bit.GRAINS: Grains remain stuck in neutral, weighed down by plenty of supply and no clear catalyst. Until something changes, this market looks content to wait.PORK: The window for cheap bellies has closed, and bacon prices are setting up for a steady spring climb. Pork still offers value — but the direction is starting to shift.DAIRY: Butter finally found its footing, and dairy may be ready to turn the corner. Whether this is the start of a rebound or just a pause is the next story to watch.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

January is doing what it does best – pulling markets in opposite directions. Beef splits between falling middle meats and rising end cuts, chicken prices wake up, pork stays a value, grains soften, and dairy pushes into rare territory. These early-year moves may look quiet, but they're setting up what comes next. BEEF: The New Year split continues — middle meats are sliding while end cuts quietly climb. With Valentine's Day approaching and demand holding steady, this market is setting up for its next turn sooner than it looks.POULTRY: Chicken prices are officially on the move, led by breasts with wings and tenders following close behind. Add a slipping hatch rate and ongoing avian flu cases, and this value market may not stay cheap for long.GRAINS: Grain prices took another step lower as supply keeps growing faster than demand. Great news for feeders, but these markets are still searching for a spark.PORK: Pork remains one of the strongest values on the board, even as prices begin to inch higher. With steady production ahead, this quiet strength could be telling.DAIRY: Dairy keeps pushing lower into territory we haven't seen since the pandemic. Whether this creates short-term opportunity or signals something deeper is the question worth watching.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

The calendar flipped, and the markets followed. Beef is splitting seasonally, chicken is finally waking up, pork remains a value with signs of strength, grains won't budge, and dairy keeps testing new lows. This is the quiet part of the year where small shifts now can mean big moves later.BEEF: The New Year reset is in full swing — middle meats are sliding fast while roasts and grinds quietly push higher. This seasonal split is right on schedule. The question is which side of the market you want to be on before January wraps up.POULTRY: After weeks of waiting, chicken prices are finally turning higher, led by breasts and now wings as the playoff season kicks in. With avian flu still very much in play, this market may not give buyers much time to react.GRAINS: Grain prices remain stuck in neutral, offering continued relief for protein markets. Until something breaks the pattern, this quiet stretch looks firmly in place.PORK: Pork remains one of the best values on the board, but signs of strength are starting to show. Bellies are holding steady for now — the next move feels closer than it looks.DAIRY: Butter has hit a five-year low while cheese shows hints of stabilizing. It's a rare pricing moment that may not stick around long.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Nearly 1 in 5 urinary tract infections (UTIs) are caused by E. coli strains that originated in contaminated meat, confirming what earlier research has shown Poultry is the main source of these dangerous bacteria, with chicken and turkey accounting for more than 74% of meat-linked UTI cases, while all retail meats showed high contamination levels These bacteria, known as extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC), survive processing and cooking to enter your body, where they colonize your urinary tract and can spread to your bloodstream Overuse of antibiotics in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) fuels the growth of drug-resistant E. coli, creating infections that are harder to treat and more likely to require hospitalization You can protect yourself by avoiding CAFO meats, choosing grass fed and regeneratively raised options, improving food and personal hygiene, and supporting urinary health with methylene blue, cranberries, and D-mannose
