Fluid Milk and Cream - West U.S.

Released on November 13, 2025

California milk production is stronger. Handlers report November 2025 year over 
year milk output is up significantly. Some manufacturers note milk intakes have 
been above anticipated volumes. Stakeholders convey stronger milk production is 
expected to continue. According to the California Department of Water 
Resources, as of November 11, 2025, the state precipitation total is above the 
historical mean and the statewide reservoir storage level is above the 
historical average for the 2025-26 Water Year. Farm level milk output in 
Arizona and New Mexico is stronger. Week over week milk production in the 
Pacific Northwest is mixed. Some manufacturers note milk intakes are lower than 
anticipated volumes. In the mountain states of Idaho, Utah, and Colorado, milk 
production varies from steady to stronger. Stakeholders in Idaho and Utah 
report spot milk loads are tighter, especially in the Idaho area. Fat 
components in milk output vary from steady to decreasing. Colorado handlers 
convey the peak of spring 2025 farm level milk output was later than typical in 
the state due to some delays in breeding that pushed seasonally lower farm 
level milk output into later weeks of the year. Class demands are unchanged 
throughout the region. Cream continues to be steadily available in the region. 
Near term demand for cream is stronger, however, some stakeholders report 
demand for next year is lighter than this time a year ago. Cream multiples 
moved slightly lower at the top of both ranges. Stakeholders note a few 
distressed cream sales at multiples below the bottom of the All-Class range. 
Condensed skim milk loads are available to fill steady spot buyer demand.
