Fluid Milk And Cream - East U.S.

Released on July 16, 2025

Milk production in the entire Eastern region is low due to seasonal temperature 
increases affecting cow comfort, but remain higher than previous year's 
production levels. Despite this, milk components are higher than anticipated. 
Contacts indicate an abundance of fat available for processing. Class I 
bottling production remains steady with no noted changes to report. Class II 
manufacturing continues to be strong during the summer. Contacts note a 
seasonal increase in July as the ice cream demand rises. Ice cream 
manufacturers continue to take spot loads of cream and condensed skim milk. 
Class III production remains steady to strong in the Northeast. Many 
manufacturers are requesting spot loads of milk for Class III production. The 
demand for condensed skim for cheese production is strong. Class IV production 
is slowing. Cream demand from other commodities is slowing butter production 
schedules. Drying operations are currently slow due to the increased demand of 
condensed skim for Class II and Class III commodities. Condensed skim spot 
loads are selling from $0.20 to $0.35 over class prices.
