Fluid Milk And Cream - East U.S.

Released on August 13, 2025

"Tight" is the general consensus of milk availability in the East region. 
Contacts report limited availability of spot milk and cream throughout the 
region. High temperatures in the region are impacting cow comfort and milk 
output. Bottling production in the Southeast is increasing as educational 
institutions start the fall semester. Bottling production in the Northeast is 
also growing as summer comes to an end. Class II production is slowing, 
particularly with hard packed ice cream producers. Class III production remains 
steady. Cheesemakers, continuing to take advantage of higher demand, are 
purchasing spot loads of milk and condensed skim. Class IV production is slower 
than in previous weeks. Churn activity is generally slower, even though some 
facilities report prioritizing butter production over using cream for other 
product types. The cream multiples range did not change this week, with 
contacts stating they are able to buy or sell within the same range. Condensed 
skim availability is tighter this week. Demand remains strong for condensed 
products. Condensed skim is selling $0.20 to $0.30 above class price this week.
