Fluid Milk and Cream - West U.S.

Released on September 11, 2025

California week over week milk production is mixed. Handlers note August 2025 
year over year milk production gains are less pronounced than June/July 2025 
year over year milk production gains. Some manufacturers note milk intakes are 
below anticipated volumes, but also convey milk supplies are sufficient. 
Unplanned downtime for some Central Valley processors caused capacities to 
tighten. However, decreased milk production for some dairy farmers due to 
higher temperatures kept milk volumes in check with processing capacities. Milk 
production in Arizona is lighter. Handlers note September milk output has 
notably decreased from August. Spot loads up to $1 below Class are noted. Farm 
level milk output in New Mexico is lighter. In the Pacific Northwest, week over 
week milk production is mixed. Manufacturers indicate milk volumes are more 
than adequate and milk intakes are above anticipated volumes in some cases. 
Farm level milk output in the mountain states of Idaho, Utah, and Colorado vary 
from steady to stronger. Idaho handlers note milk production and fat components 
are strong this year. Colorado handlers note milk output per cow is strong this 
year. Manufacturers indicate milk volumes are more than sufficient. Plenty of 
cream is available throughout the region. Cream demand is mixed. Cream 
multiples moved lower this week, especially regarding purchases for Class IV 
manufacturing. Condensed skim milk availability is stable and is meeting steady 
demand.
