Fluid Milk And Cream - East U.S.

Released on July 23, 2025

A heat wave is sweeping much of the U.S. Temperatures in the Eastern region are 
contributing to lower milk production levels in the area. Milk component levels 
are also seasonally low. Class I bottling remains slow, but with schools in the 
Southeast getting ready to start, production will see an uptick soon. Northeast 
bottling remains steady. Class II manufacturing remains steady with ice cream 
producers purchasing spot loads of cream and condensed products to fortify milk 
solid levels. Class III production is steady to strong this week. Spot loads of 
milk are available for Class III. Cheese makers are also purchasing condensed 
skim loads for production. The cream multiples range saw some significant 
increases this week. Class IV production is slowing as the summer continues. 
Some butter producers are selling cream to Class II and III producers while 
churn schedules are slower. Demand for condensed skim has been high the past 
few weeks and supply is catching up to meet that need. Sales for Class II and 
Class III skim are going for $0.25-$0.30 above Class price.
