Butter - East U.S.

Released on September 10, 2025

Milk components continue to rise, providing large amounts of cream for the 
market. Some contacts report a sloppy market for cream this week. Unscheduled 
down time for some facilities is adding more milk to the spot market. There 
were multiple reports of an active spot market for butter makers. Churn 
schedules are picking up to prepare for the upcoming holiday season, although 
most manufacturers are not yet churning at full capacity.  Retail size 
packaging of butter is taking priority over bulk butter. Inventory levels of 
butter dropped slightly from the beginning of the month, but there is no cause 
for concern about a butter shortage. Cream multiples are dropping at the bottom 
of the range.
