Fluid Milk and Cream - West U.S.

Released on November 28, 2025

California milk production is strong. Spot milk loads are available. 
Stakeholders convey higher year over year milk production is not always 
translating to higher availability of dry dairy product commodities. Most 
manufacturers say milk intakes remain steady or strong this week. According to 
the California Department of Water Resources, as of November 26, the statewide 
precipitation total is 2.30 inches above the historical mean for the current 
water year. Farm level milk output in Arizona is strengthening. Spot milk loads 
are somewhat looser. Week over week New Mexico milk production varies from 
steady to stronger. Pacific Northwest milk production varies from steady to 
stronger. Some manufacturers note milk intakes are above anticipated volumes. 
Stakeholders note purchases of spot milk loads from across state boarders as 
well. Week over week milk production in the mountain states of Idaho, Utah, and 
Colorado is mixed. Some stakeholders convey later breeding times in 2025 are 
having some impacts on Q4 milk production. Idaho handlers convey year over year 
milk production is comfortably up. Idaho/Utah manufacturers note some 
production schedules are lighter due to the holiday week. Class I demand is 
strong, Class II demand varies from steady to lighter, and all other Class 
demands are steady throughout the region. Cream demand is mixed for the holiday 
week. Cream multiples are below the bottom end and above the top end of the
