Butter - Central U.S.

Released on August 13, 2025

In the Central region, milk output and components are declining, but components 
remain up from one year ago. Cream production is down week-to-week and up from 
August last year. Contacts say softening demand for cream from ice cream makers 
is leaving plenty of cream available for churning. Butter makers are using 
available cream to run busy production schedules. Domestic butter interest is 
lackluster, but contacts say demand has held steady in recent weeks and spot 
loads of this butter are available to meet current market demands. Spot 
inventories of 82 percent butterfat butter are tight, amid strong demand from 
international purchasers.
