Butter - Central U.S.

Released on July 30, 2025

Milk production and component levels are declining seasonally in the Central 
region, contributing to lighter cream production. Contacts report demand for 
cream from ice cream makers is declining, leaving a greater volume available 
for butter production. Cream is available to meet current butter making needs 
in the region, and butter production is steady. Demand for butter is light in 
domestic markets. Contacts report food service sales are down from this time 
last year. Export demand for butter is strong. Contacts report spot loads of 80 
percent butter are available for purchasing, but 82 percent butterfat product 
is more difficult to obtain.
