DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       
                                                            
Prices for Western dry buttermilk are mixed on the range, but 
unchanged on the mostly price series. The dry buttermilk market 
is unsettled as prices for butterfat and dairy proteins in the 
form of nonfat dry milk have regained some ground on CME Group 
trading this week. However, with the recent holiday baking 
season in the past and the next one more than 8 weeks away, 
buyers have time to sort through offers. Dry buttermilk 
production is steady as churning is active, and sales of 
condensed buttermilk loads into ice cream accounts are 
seasonally slow. Manufacturers' inventories are growing 
steadily. 

F.O.B. WEST: .8475 - 1.0600   MOSTLY:  .9000 - 1.0000
