Fluid Milk And Cream - East U.S.

Released on October 08, 2025

Seasonal milk production is on the rise. Lower temperatures in the Northeast 
are contributing to increased cow comfort. In addition to increased cow 
comfort, dairy farmers are using higher-quality grain and by-products to 
produce more fat in milk. Milk use for bottling is steady with no changes to 
production schedules or demand. Class II demand is steady. Seasonal production 
remains strong as manufacturers continue to prepare for holiday demand. Class 
III production is down slightly in the East with limited production at some 
facilities. Spot loads of milk and condensed skim are available for purchase 
for cheese makers. Class IV production is rising to meet holiday demands. Many 
facilities mention contract loads of cream are sufficient to keep churns 
operating. Cream multiples in the East dropped at the top of the range and 
remained the same at the bottom. Condensed skim production and availability is 
heavy in the region. Some factory disruptions caused milk volumes to be 
condensed instead of their intended use. Condensed skim prices range from $0.17 
under Class to $0.15 over Class price.  Beginning November 1, 2025, this report 
will be published on Thursday's at 1:30 PM EST/12:30 PM CST
