Butter - West U.S.

Released on October 29, 2025

Milk production and fat components in the West are providing plenty of cream to 
go around. Contractual commitments to butter producers are being met and spot 
loads are available. Cream multiples are currently unchanged from last week. 
Demand for spot cream is stronger with more heavily active seasonal butter 
churning. Butter production schedules are strong. Production schedules continue 
to focus more heavily on 80% butterfat butter than 82% butterfat butter. Retail 
butter loads are widely available, while bulk butter and 82% butterfat butter 
loads are comparatively less readily available. Some butter manufacturers 
report export demands for 82% butterfat butter are outpacing production. 
Domestic demand is steady. Some stakeholders report contractual sales for next 
quarter are picking up steam.

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