Fluid Milk and Cream - Central U.S.

Released on July 24, 2025

Milk output is steady to lighter in the Central region. Contacts in the 
Southwest say high temperatures continue to have a negative impact on cow 
comfort and milk production. In the Midwest, milk output remained steady in 
recent weeks, but some contacts note higher temperatures leading into this week 
are contributing to lighter milk output. Class I milk demand is light. Demand 
for Classes II, III, and IV are strong. Milk components are seasonally 
declining, contributing to lighter cream production. Despite lighter 
production, cream volumes are available to meet steady demand from ice cream 
and butter makers. Spot loads of Class III milk are trading from -$3-under to 
$3-over this week. Some contacts note downtime at plants are keeping spot loads 
of Class III milk available in their immediate area, while others say spot 
volumes are tightening and becoming more difficult to obtain.
