Dry Buttermilk - West U.S.

Dry buttermilk prices increased again at both ends of the range and mostly 
price series in the West this week. Domestic demand is stronger. Export demand 
is steady. Manufacturers and traders note tighter spot load availability. Dry 
buttermilk production schedules are mixed. With heavy milk volumes in parts of 
the region and increasing prices for milk powders, some manufacturers are 
prioritizing dry milk powder production over dry buttermilk production, despite 
plenty of liquid buttermilk being available for use.
