Fluid Milk and Cream - West U.S.

Released on August 21, 2025

California milk production is lightening. Handlers convey hotter summer 
temperatures are taking hold and negatively impacting milk output. However, 
some manufacturers note milk intakes are above anticipated volumes. Handlers 
report July 2025 year over year milk production was up and August 2025 year 
over year milk production is also trending upward. Central Valley processors 
report balanced milk volumes, but downtime from equipment damage is expected to 
bring milk output closer to processing capacities.  Milk production in Arizona 
is lighter. Handlers indicate August 2025 year over year milk production is 
trending upward. New Mexico farm level milk output is lighter. Pacific 
Northwest handlers indicate week over week milk production is generally steady, 
but fat components in milk output are decreasing. Manufacturers convey milk 
intakes are at anticipated volumes. Week over week milk production in the 
mountain states of Idaho, Utah, and Colorado are mixed. Colorado handlers 
convey milk decreases are milder than anticipated and year over year milk 
output is up this summer. Idaho stakeholders note spot milk volumes are ample 
enough to accommodate manufacturing needs. Class I demand varies from steady to 
stronger as some educational institutions are beginning the new school year 
now. Class II demand varies from steady to lighter throughout the region. Class 
III and IV demands are steady throughout the region. Cream availability is 
somewhat tighter and demand is steady. Cream multiples are unchanged this week. 
Condensed skim milk demand and availability are steady.
