Fluid Milk and Cream - Central U.S.

Released on July 10, 2025

Compared to last week, milk output is lighter in most of the Central region.  
In the Midwest, high temperatures near the end of June, negatively impacted cow 
comfort and milk output. Milder weather this week contributed to an uptick in 
farm level milk production, but contacts report output is down from a month 
ago. Class I demand remains light, while contacts report strong demand for all 
other Classes. Milk components are declining in the region. Spot loads of cream 
are available, but purchasers are searching for more loads to meet their 
production needs. Cream multiples are higher in the Central region this week 
and demand for cream remains strong from ice cream and butter makers. Spot 
trades of Class III milk were light this week and prices range from flat to 
$2-over. Contacts report spot Class III milk availability dried up rapidly 
after last week's holiday. Some cheesemakers say they are short volumes of milk 
and are unable to find sufficient spot milk to continue running full production 
schedules.
