Butter - West U.S.

Released on October 08, 2025

Seasonally strengthening milk production and fat components are adding to 
already adequate cream availability in the West. Cream demand from butter 
makers is mixed. Cream multiples are unchanged through Wednesday of week 41. 
Butter production schedules vary from lighter to somewhat stronger. Plant 
managers convey some unplanned downtime mostly due to equipment maintenance. 
Some butter manufacturers indicate butter inventories are decreasing. However, 
more than ample loads of salted and unsalted butter are available. Retail 
demand varies from steady to stronger and is ahead of food service sales 
activity. Export demand is strong. Through Wednesday of week 41, the CME butter 
price is down 10 cents compared to the $1.7500/lb price posted for Friday, 
October 3, 2025.

Beginning November 1, 2025, this report will be published at 4:00 PM EST/3:00 
PM CST.
