Fluid Milk And Cream - East U.S.

Released on July 30, 2025

Seasonal milk production remains low throughout most of the Eastern region. 
Despite this, milk is still available for processing. Bottling production in 
the Southeast is picking up, attributed to the new school year. Bottling 
production in the Northeast remains low. Class II production remains strong, 
but contacts state production schedules will slow as the summer draws to an 
end. Class III manufacturing remains steady to strong in the region. Cheese 
makers continue to take spot loads of milk, condensed skim and cream to help 
bolster production. Class IV production is slow in the region. Butter makers 
are not operating churns at full capacity, stating it's more beneficial to sell 
cream to other producers rather than sending it to the churn. Cream multiples 
remain strong, despite the top end of the range dropping slightly. Multiple 
contacts report a steady amount of cream to buy on the market. Condensed skim 
continues to be in demand. Condensed skim production also remains heavy. Class 
II and Class III manufacturers are purchasing spot loads throughout the region. 
Sales prices for condensed skim are $0.20 to $0.30 above Class prices.
