Released on June 05, 2025

For California, milk production is trending downward. Handlers indicate milk 
production is generally decreasing week-to-week. Stakeholders note that 
although daytime temperatures are heating up, nighttime temperatures are cool 
enough to hold off more dramatic decreases in week-to-week milk output. 
Handlers indicate May 2025 year-over-year milk production is down. Some 
manufacturers note production capacities are not entirely filled. Spot load 
offers at below Class prices are recently noted. Manufacturers describe milk 
volumes as comfortable. Class I demand is lighter as summer breaks at 
educational institutions are fast approaching. Class II, III, and IV demands 
are steady. Milk production in Arizona is lighter. Handlers note hotter 
temperatures are becoming more consistent. Class I, II, III, and IV demands are

the mountain states of Idaho, Utah, and Colorado varies from steady to lighter. 
Colorado handlers convey milk output passed the seasonal peak. Idaho 
manufactures convey milk volumes remain more than ample for manufacturing 
needs. All Class manufacturing demands are steady. Cream volumes are seasonally 
decreasing, but remain sufficient enough to accommodate the needs of
