Butter - West U.S.

Released on August 27, 2025

Butter manufacturers indicate ample amounts of spot cream loads are available, 
along with the contractual cream volumes, to meet their needs. Demand for spot 
cream loads is mixed. Some butter manufacturers operating their butter churns 
at less than 100 percent capacity are choosing to pass up spot cream load 
offers at current prices. Butter producers are working to build retail stocks 
for 2025 Q4 demands. Demand from international buyers is ahead of butter loads 
produced for international sales. Domestic demand is reported as stronger. 
However, CME butter prices fell sharply from a closing price of $2.2400 on 
Monday, August 25, to a closing price of $2.0500 for today, Wednesday, August 
27.
