Fluid Milk and Cream - West U.S.

Released on October 30, 2025

California week over week milk production is stronger and fat components in 
milk output remain strong. Spot milk loads are still available. However, 
stakeholders convey some downtime at plants is keeping open processing space 
snug, which is making it more challenging to find homes for spot milk loads. 
According to the California Department of Water Resources, as of October 28, 
2025, the state precipitation total is .74 inches above the historical mean of 
1.09 inches and the statewide reservoir storage level is comfortably above the 
historical average, which is accommodating dairy farmer and processor needs. In 
Arizona and New Mexico, farm level milk output is stronger. Pacific Northwest 
milk production varies from steady to stronger. Manufacturers convey 
contractual milk volumes are being delivered, but spot milk load availability 
is tighter. In the mountain states of Idaho, Utah, and Colorado, week over week 
farm level milk output varies from steady to stronger. Stakeholders convey 
plenty of milk is available to fill needs of processors. All Class demands are 
steady throughout the region. Cream is plentiful throughout the West. Cream 
demand varies from steady to stronger. Cream multiples are unchanged from week 
43. Condensed skim milk loads are available to fill steady spot buyer demand.
