Butter - West U.S.

Released on November 05, 2025

Fat components in milk output continue to be strong during the fall milk 
production season in the West. Cream supplies are more than adequate for butter 
makers, despite production of holiday season dairy commodities strengthening. 
Spot cream load demand varies from steady to stronger for butter producers. 
Butter production schedules are strong, making 80% butterfat butter and 82% 
butterfat butter. Salted 80% butterfat butter loads are readily available, 
while unsalted 80% butterfat butter loads are somewhat tight. Domestic demand 
is steady. Many butter manufacturers note export demand is outpacing production 
of 82% butterfat butter. Although daily CME butter prices during week 44 stayed 
above $1.50/lb, the CME closing butter price of $1.5775 for Monday, November 3, 
slipped to a closing price of $1.4725/lb for Wednesday, November 5.
