Butter - West U.S.

Released on December 10, 2025

Milk production in the West remains up year over year in December 2025, and 
there is plenty of cream available in the region. Cream demand from butter 
manufacturers is stronger. Butter production schedules are strong. Butter 
manufacturing facilities that kicked off in 2025 are taking in more cream 
volumes and are running busier production schedules. Domestic demand is 
stronger. Stakeholders note availability of unsalted butter loads is tighter. 
Demand from international buyers is steady. Some butter producers continue to 
make international loads the priority for their bulk butter production. CME 
closing butter prices have remained steady at $1.4775 so far this week.
