Fluid Milk And Cream - East U.S.

Released on September 17, 2025

Milk availability is on the rise in the Northeast. Lower temperatures are 
contributing to better cow comfort in the area. Additionally, unscheduled 
downtime at a facility is putting more milk on the market for spot purchases. 
The Southeast continues to pull milk from other areas to assist with bottling 
demands. Class I production throughout the region is steady to strong. Class II 
production is increasing. Extended shelf-life cream and half and half 
production is on the rise to meet seasonal demand. Class III manufacturing is 
slower, predominantly to facility down time. Spot milk is readily available for 
purchase. Class IV production is strong. Cream is widely available for spot 
purchases. Churn activity is increasing to accommodate seasonal demand of 
retail butter. Cream multiples fell on both ends of the range this week. The 
lower end of the range took a dramatic drop as the amount of available cream is 
stronger than demand. Condensed skim prices showed a significant drop this week 
as well. Condensed skim production is heavy while demand has softened. 
Condensed skim is selling flat to below Class price.
