Dry Buttermilk - West U.S.

Released on May 21, 2026

Dry buttermilk prices increased three cents at the bottom and decreased one 
cent at the top of the range in the West this week. The top of the mostly price 
series decreased one cent as well. Domestic demand varies from steady to 
lighter. Demand from international buyers is steady. Butter churns continue to 
work through seasonally higher cream production, making plenty of liquid 
buttermilk. However, production schedules are mixed. Some manufacturers report 
production schedules are light as drier time is primary being allocated to 
nonfat dry milk production, while others report dry buttermilk production 
schedules are steady. Spot load availability is tighter.
