Butter - East U.S.

Released on August 13, 2025

Production shifts in the Northeast are causing some changes in butter 
manufacturing. Milk output from the farm remains seasonally low, and, coupled 
with an uptick in bottling, is tightening availability of cream in the region. 
Some manufacturers are prioritizing churning, while others are choosing to send 
cream to Class II and III production rather than the churns. Spot loads of 
cream are limited but available. Retail size packaging is taking priority over 
bulk production. Bulk butter is available for sale and going at or near the CME 
price. Inventory levels of butter are slightly lower than the beginning of the 
month, but stable.
