output in Arizona and New Mexico is stronger. Milk production in the Pacific 
Northwest is strengthening. Some manufacturers report milk intakes are above 
anticipated volumes. Stakeholders convey spot loads are available. Farm-level 
milk output in the mountain states of Idaho, Utah, and Colorado is stronger.

and spot loads are available. All Class demands are steady throughout the

bottom end of both ranges. Condensed skim milk demand and availability is 
steady. Beginning November 1, 2025, this report will be published at 4:00 PM
