Butter - West U.S.

Released on July 30, 2025

Although fat components in milk output are decreasing and seasonal milk output 
is seasonally lower, contractual cream volumes to butter manufacturers are 
being fulfilled. Spot cream loads are tighter. Reported cream multiples are 
moving up from week 30 as of report time. Butter production schedules are 
mixed. In a few cases, butter producers report downtime for much of Q3 while 
churn equipment is being replaced. Some butter producers are running churns 
heavily. However, many are not purchasing enough spot cream to run butter 
churning schedules to full capacities. Some butter manufacturers indicate this 
is due to current prices for spot cream loads. Domestic demand varies from 
steady to lighter. Export demand varies from steady to strong.
