Fluid Milk And Cream - East U.S.

Released on October 29, 2025

Milk production continues to be strong in the Northeast. Cooler temperatures 
are contributing to increased farm output. In the Southeast, milk production 
remains steady and Class I bottling demand is increasing. Contacts indicate 
demand is higher this year than last. Class II production remains strong. 
Seasonal products, such as eggnog and flavored creams, are in full production 
and pulling from available milk and cream supplies. Class III production is 
strong. Contacts indicate a better-than-expected demand from both retail 
products and further cheese processors buying bulk cheese. Spot loads of milk 
are available for cheese production, but contacts note spot demand is light. 
Class IV production is seasonally strong. Butter churns are operating seven 
days a week. There is very little spot cream available for churns. Cream 
multiples did not change this week, with prices leveling out. Condensed skim 
production is steady. Producers mention some condensed skim buyers are looking 
to lock in contracts for at least the first half of 2026. Condensed skim is 
selling on the spot market from flat 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
