Fluid Milk And Cream - East U.S.

Released on August 20, 2025

Bottling production in the East is contributing to tighter supplies of milk 
throughout the region. The bottling increase is attributed to the start of the 
fall semester for many educational institutions. Milk components are higher 
than expected, providing an ample supply of cream. Cream multiples dropped this 
week on both ends of the range. There are several reports of butter makers 
taking in cream to keep the churns full. Class II production is steady but not 
as strong as peak summer weeks. Class III production remains steady to strong. 
Spot purchases of milk for cheese production were low this week. Cheese makers 
are still showing a strong demand for condensed skim milk. Demand remains 
strong for Class II production as well. Sales of condensed skim are going from 
$0.15 to $0.25 over Class price. Condensed skim milk supply is tightening in 
the region.
