DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       
                                                            
Western dry buttermilk prices are unchanged on the mostly series on light 
activity. Market participants note the wide range on prices available from 
manufacturers is an indication of the difference between single and multiple 
load sales.  Higher prices are associated with most contract and single load 
transactions. Lower prices are more prevalent for multiple load purchases. 
Dry buttermilk production is active, in step with several churn operators 
maintaining active butter production. Inventories of dry buttermilk are 
steady to higher, with contract fulfillment removing some loads from 
producers' holdings on a week to week basis and fresh production filling in 
behind those shipments. 

F.O.B. WEST: .8500 - 1.0100   MOSTLY:  .8800 - .9000
