Fluid Milk And Cream - East U.S.

Released on November 20, 2025

Milk production in the East region remains seasonally strong. Demand for milk 
and cream is increasing as well, maintaining a balance between supply and 
demand. Many facilities are increasing production this week to have some 
downtime next week for the holiday. Bottling demand in the Southeast is strong. 
Class I facilities are purchasing large quantities of spot milk from other 
regions to keep up with demand. Class II demand is steady to strong. Consumer 
demand for seasonal dairy products and holiday recipe ingredients, such as 
heavy whipping cream, is keeping manufacturers busy. Many Class II producers 
increased spot sales of milk and cream in recent weeks. Class III production is 
steady. Cheese makers are taking some spot loads of milk and cream to meet 
retail demand, but bulk producers are experiencing a lull in production. Class 
IV demand is steady to strong. Retail demand for butter is seasonally 
increasing. Condensed skim supply is tight in the Northeast. Contacts are 
anticipating an increase in supply next week as many facilities planning 
downtime for the holiday will send excess milk to condensers. Condensed skim 
prices range from flat to $0.20 over Class price.
