some processors report milk intakes to be above anticipated volumes. Handlers 
convey year over year milk output is comfortably up for July 2025. Central 
Valley manufacturers describe milk volumes as balanced. Stakeholders convey 
spot loads sold at flat Class pricing and were mainly offered to buyers due to
