Butter - East U.S.

Released on July 30, 2025

CME prices for Grade AA butter fell last week. The weekly average was $2.4565, 
down over $0.08 from the previous week. In conjunction with the CME prices 
dropping, cream multiples are comparatively high. Butter churns are not 
operating at full capacity in the Northeast, as a result. Some contacts mention 
selling cream to Class II and Class III producers rather than sending it to the 
churns. Inventory levels of butter are healthy. There are some reported sales 
of bulk butter selling at and below the CME price. Retail butter sales are 
steady, on par with seasonal trends. International demand for U.S. butter is 
slow.
