Fluid Milk and Cream - Central U.S.

Released on July 03, 2025

High temperatures last week impacted cow comfort and contributed to lighter 
milk output in the central region. Downtime planned by some manufacturers for 
July 4th has softened the impact of declining milk output, as contacts report 
some manufacturers are selling additional spot volumes this week. Class I 
demand is light, and stakeholders say they anticipate limited demand throughout 
July. Demand for all other Classes is generally strong but is down slightly due 
to this week's holiday. Class III milk volumes are less available throughout 
much of the region. Contacts say some spot prices were unchanged from last 
week, as a few plant managers were offering spot loads at low prices early in 
the week for immediate shipment due to production issues and in preparation for 
the end-of-week holiday. Purchasers say they anticipate tighter Class III 
availability to cause spot prices to increase in the coming weeks. Milk 
components are declining, but contacts report this week's holiday is leaving 
more cream available for spot purchasing and pushing cream multiples lower. Ice 
cream and butter makers continue to utilize cream to run busy production 
schedules.
