Fluid Milk and Cream - Central U.S.

Released on May 29, 2025

Favorable weather in parts of the Central region is keeping milk component 
levels relatively steady week to week. Milk output is strong in the region, 
though contacts note production is lighter in the Southwest compared to the 
Midwest. Cream volumes are available in the region and some stakeholders say 
they were offering more loads this week due to the recent holiday weekend. 
Cream demand continues to strengthen as ice cream makers are pulling on 
supplies. Butter makers are utilizing available cream volumes to run busy 
production schedules. Summer break is starting for an increasing number of 
educational institutions across the region, contributing to less milk heading 
to bottling and instead being diverted to other processing facilities. Class 
III milk prices range from $7-under to $1-over this week. This range is 
slightly wider range than the $6 to $0.50-under Class III prices seen in Week 
22 last year. Cheesemakers say some spot loads traded near the bottom of the 
range due to the holiday weekend. Demand for Class III milk was somewhat muted 
ahead of the holiday but picked up throughout this week.
