Butter - West U.S.

Released on October 15, 2025

Milk production and fat components are strengthening in the West, resulting in 
sufficient cream volumes. Many butter producers report not bringing in extra 
cream on top of contractual intakes. Cream multiples are unchanged from week 41 
as of report time. Butter production schedules are steady for the most part, 
with manufacturers working to build supplies for Q4 holiday demands. Although 
some butter makers report unsalted inventories are snug, loads of both salted 
and unsalted butter are available. Domestic demand is steady. Export demand is 
strong. For week 42, CME butter closing prices are bullish thus far and closed 
at $1.6700 for October 15, 2025.

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