Butter - Central U.S.

Released on April 30, 2025

Butter makers are actively churning in the Central region. Contacts say cream 
remains plentiful, but increasing seasonal demand from ice cream makers has 
drawn inventories down somewhat from early-spring. Cream multiples have 
increased slightly at the bottom of the range, but most reported multiples are 
at or near flat market. Domestic butter sales are steady, meeting butter 
makers' expectations. Spot loads of butter are available, and some contacts say 
they are freezing inventories for use later in the year. On Wednesday, the CME 
spot butter prices was $2.2950, down 3 cents from a week earlier.
