Fluid Milk And Cream - East U.S.

Released on July 09, 2025

In the Northeast, milk production was higher year-over-year, but is beginning 
to decline week-over-week due to persistent heat/humidity affecting cow comfort 
and milk output. In the Southeast, milk production is also trending down. 
Manufacturers across both regions continue to secure additional spot volumes 
when available. During the July 4th holiday weekend, contacts reported several 
plants were down for multiple days, further tightening milk availability. As a 
result, condensed skim milk availability dried up amid heavy demand, with spot 
interest outpacing supply in many areas. Milk continues to stay within its 
originating region for the time being, but is expected to shift over the next 
couple of months. By August, more milk is anticipated to start moving south to 
meet regional needs. Demand for Class I milk continues to be seasonally light. 
Class II demand remains strong, fueling steady summer ice cream production. 
Class III production is lagging due to holiday-related downtime. Also, Class IV 
remains in strong demand in the Northeast, but softened slightly from peak 
levels. Cream multiples have also softened since late June. Spot cream volume 
remains in the mid-1.10s to low 1.30s.
