Butter - Central U.S.

Released on July 09, 2025

In the Central region, milk output is declining. Contacts say components are 
down from prior weeks but remain up from a year ago. Cream is available for 
purchase, but contacts say spot volumes are less excessive than in previous 
weeks. Cream multiples are increasing in the Central region, and contacts say 
demand for cream remains strong from both butter and ice cream makers. Contacts 
report butter production picked up following the holiday weekend. Domestic 
butter demand is light and interest from bulk butter purchasers is picking up. 
Export butter demand is strong as domestic prices for butter remain below loads 
produced internationally.
