MD DA340 Dry Buttermilk  - West                             

MADISON, WI.  May 14, 2015 (REPORT 19)                      

DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       
                                                            
Western dry buttermilk prices are mostly lower. Some blocks of loads 
cleared and restored inventory comfort for a few manufacturers; however, 
f.o.b. offers into the market are infrequent and sparking light interest 
for less than block quantities. Dry buttermilk production is unchanged to 
lower as cream is tight within the region. In addition, ice cream, frozen 
desserts and cream cheese interest quickly scooped some cream loads out of the market. Inventories of dry buttermilk are generally steady. 
Manufacturers' descriptions of their holdings range from comfortable to 
higher than desired. 

F.O.B. WEST: .7800 - .9000   MOSTLY:  .8000 - .8750
