DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       

Prices for dry buttermilk are unchanged on a weak market. 
Trading in the f.o.b. spot market is light as interest from 
bakers continues waning. Sales of condensed buttermilk to ice 
cream/frozen dessert manufacturers are active as prices continue 
to be relatively low. Consequently, dry buttermilk production 
has been irregular this week. Inventories are steady to slightly 
lower. DAIRY PRODUCTS:  According to NASS, U.S. production of 
dry buttermilk during March 2016 totaled 9.6 million pounds, 
9.6% higher than a year ago, but 11.1% lower than the previous 
month.
