Fluid Milk and Cream - West U.S.

Released on November 06, 2025

In the West, California week over week milk production varies from steady to 
somewhat stronger. Handlers report October 2025 year over year milk production 
is significantly higher, and October 2025 milk volumes are up compared to 
September 2025. Some manufacturers convey milk intakes are above anticipated 
volumes. Stakeholders note open processing capacity is tight primarily due to 
planned and unplanned downtime at processing facilities as opposed to increases 
in farm level milk output making processing capacities tight. In Arizona and 
New Mexico, milk production varies from steady to somewhat stronger as well. 
Farm level milk output in the Pacific Northwest varies from steady to lighter. 
Some manufacturers note milk intakes and manufacturing at their processing 
facilities are lower than anticipated. In the mountain states of Idaho, Utah, 
and Colorado, milk production is steady. Manufacturers indicate contractual 
milk volumes are being received, and spot milk loads are available. 
Manufacturers note projects for additional Class II processing capacity within 
the mountain states area are on or ahead of schedule. Class I demand is strong 
and Class II, III, and IV demands are steady throughout the region. Cream 
remains readily available in the West. Cream demand is stronger. Cream 
multiples moved higher this week. Condensed skim milk demand and availability 
are unchanged.
