Butter - West U.S.

Released on August 06, 2025

Butter manufacturers are receiving contractual cream volumes, despite fat 
components in milk outputs decreasing. Demand for cream from ice cream 
producers is lightening, leaving more spot cream available for butter 
manufacturers. Cream demand for butter churning is mixed. Plant downtime, 
churning equipment replacement, and cream prices are contributing to unsteady 
spot cream demand from butter producers. Butter production schedules vary from 
steady to stronger. Salted butter is readily available, while unsalted butter 
from some producers is somewhat tight for spot buyers. Domestic demand is 
stronger. However, many sellers convey sales for the food service sector are 
down this year. Export demand is steady.
