Fluid Milk and Cream - Central U.S.

Released on November 20, 2025

Milk volumes are holding steady in the Central region, though output is higher 
than last year. Class I demand is strong as contacts continue to move loads of 
milk to bottling facilities. Several contacts mention the Southeast continues 
to take spot loads of milk. Class II production is currently high, but as the 
holiday approaches, some facilities will be taking less milk. Seasonal dairy 
products and baking ingredients account for the increased demand. Spot sales of 
Class III were more frequent this week than last, while there was a larger 
amount of spot sales going to bottling, several contacts mentioned a higher 
demand from cheesemakers. Expected downtime next week will contribute to 
increased spot sales for milk and cream. Price ranges for Class III spot sales 
range from $1.5-under to$1.5 over Class. Class IV production is steady this 
week. Contacts report a larger availability of cream for all classes of use. 
The cream multiple range widened, with both ends of the range moving. Butter 
churns are active, and some spot cream is being sold to churns, but most 
sellers can find sales at Class II and III facilities.?
