<<I thought the same thing. Just paid $3.75 for a gallon of milk at costco, up a dollar from my last trip.>> It has taken a jump. Look for cheese and cheese foods like pizzas to jump. The dairy herds have been cut too sharply from over production, selling the cows for slaughter, to not enough cows. Then the maker of BGH, the hormone that makes cows produce more milk has had a problem and has cut production 75%. Milk is sold by butter fat. Say a herd that produces 1,500 gallons of 3% butter fat milk won't sell the product for as much as a herd that produces 1,000 gallons of milk at 5% butter fat.
