Released on October 23, 2025

In the West, California milk production is stronger and fat components in milk 
output are increasing. Stakeholders report that spot milk loads are available. 
However, manufacturers convey there is not much open processing space, which is 
making it difficult to find homes for spot milk loads. In Arizona and New 
Mexico, farm level milk output is stronger. Processing capacities are tighter. 
Milk production in the Pacific Northwest varies from steady to stronger. 
Manufacturers convey that milk intakes are at anticipated volumes. Spot milk 
loads are available for buyers. Processing plants that came online this year 
continue to move closer to full capacity on milk volumes. Week-over-week farm 
level milk output in the mountain states of Idaho, Utah, and Colorado varies 
from steady to stronger. Stakeholders note milk volumes are more than 
sufficient and spot loads are available for buyers. All Class demands are 
unchanged throughout the region. Cream remains widely available in the West. 
Cream demand varies from steady to lighter. The bottom end of the All-Classes 
cream multiples range moved slightly higher. Condensed skim milk demand and 
availability are steady.Beginning November 1, 2025, this report will be 
published at 4:00 PM EST/3:00 PM CST.
