Dry Buttermilk - West U.S.

Released on January 22, 2026

Dry buttermilk prices are unchanged in the West. Domestic demand is steady. 
Export demand varies from light to moderate. Some manufacturers report moderate 
increases in their spot load availability this month, while others report their 
spot load inventories are tighter. Traders indicate spot loads are snug but can 
be found. Dry buttermilk production schedules remain mixed, despite plenty of 
liquid buttermilk from strong butter churning. Some dry product manufacturers 
indicate drying buttermilk is not a priority due to milk volumes outpacing open 
drying capacities.
