Fluid Milk And Cream - East U.S.

Released on July 02, 2025

In the Northeast, high temperatures are negatively affecting cow comfort and 
milk output. While milk output is declining week-to-week, contacts report 
production is up compared to a year ago. Milk production is also declining in 
the Southeast. Some manufacturers say they are purchasing additional spot 
volumes to fill the gap caused by lighter milk output, allowing them to run 
steady production schedules. Demand for Class I milk is seasonally light. Class 
II demand is strong as ice cream makers are steadily pulling on available milk 
volumes. Contacts say down time at some cheese plants in the region is 
contributing to increased Class III availability. Demand for Class IV is 
strong, but down somewhat from last week. Cream multiples declined at the 
bottom end of the range as manufacturers work to find homes for loads ahead of 
the 4th of July holiday. Contacts report spot cream volumes are moving from the 
mid-1.10s to the low 1.30s. Condensed skim milk is less available this week, 
compared to previous weeks, and contacts report prices from flat to $0.15 over 
Class prices.
