Butter - East U.S.

Released on October 08, 2025

Seasonally, milk and cream production are on the rise. Contacts report a 
balance in butter production between supply and market demand. Butter churns 
are operating at or near capacity to meet holiday demand. Some facilities are 
also micro fixing bulk butter into retail packaging to fill orders. Most 
facilities are using contract cream to meet butter demand. However, due to 
unscheduled down time, spot loads of cream are available in the region. Cream 
destined for churns is predominantly selling at or near flat market value. 
Butter inventories are decreasing slightly, but there is plenty of butter 
available to meet demand.
