MD DA340 Dry Buttermilk  - West                             

MADISON, WI.  March 17, 2016 (REPORT 11)                    

DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       
                                                            
Dry buttermilk prices in the West are unchanged to lower on the range 
and mostly series on light demand. Sellers indicate some occasional 
interest from end users for dry buttermilk with specific 
characteristics has appeared for limited quantities. Market 
participants also note that as additional milk and/or condensed skim 
volumes clear into ice cream/frozen dessert production, lower cream 
volumes are clearing into butter/dry buttermilk production. Sales of 
condensed buttermilk are steady to higher as some end users are 
finding better values via that market. Western inventories are steady. 
Several producers indicate their holdings are higher than desired, but 
not really burdensome. 

F.O.B. WEST: .6800 - .8100   MOSTLY:  .7200 - .8000
