Fluid Milk and Cream - West U.S.

Released on July 06, 2026

California milk production is lighter. Handlers report June 2026 milk output is 
down from May 2026 but remained up year-over-year. Spot milk loads are 
available. Among manufacturers in the state, some scattered downtime is planned 
during Q3. Farm level milk output in Arizona is lighter. Spot load availability 
is looser as some facility equipment issues are causing unplanned downtime. 
Milk production in New Mexico and the Pacific Northwest is seeing some seasonal 
decreases, but manufacturers indicate volumes are sufficient for their 
production needs. Handlers in the mountain states report temperatures are 
rising after a slower than expected pace to seasonal increases, especially with 
nighttime temperatures. Week-to-week milk production is lighter. Idaho and Utah 
stakeholders note spot load availability is tighter. No changes in Class I, II, 
III, or IV demands are reported this week. Cream loads are available. Demand 
varies from somewhat lighter to somewhat stronger. Cream multiples are stable. 
Some stakeholders note condensed skim milk availability is tighter than it was 
at this time last year. Condensed skim milk demand is steady.
