MADISON, WI.  December 08, 2016 (REPORT 49)                 

DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       

Dry buttermilk f.o.b. spot prices in the West are mixed on a 
wider range. However, prices remain unchanged on the mostly 
series. Demand from bakers is fair to good ahead of the year-end 
holiday. Drying schedules are active, reflecting the strong 
butter churning in the region. Inventories vary from plant to 
plant. The November 2016 Dairy Market News monthly average for 
the West dry buttermilk mostly series is $0.8716 compared to 
$0.9071 a year ago. The NASS Dairy Products report noted U.S. 
dry buttermilk production during October 2016 totaled 8.4 
million pounds, 12.9 percent higher than a year ago. Total U.S. 
dry buttermilk month-ending stocks for October were 17.7 million 
pounds, 59.6 percent above last year.
