MADISON, WI.  December 15, 2016 (REPORT 50)                 

DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       
                                                            
Prices for western dry buttermilk are unchanged on the range, 
but higher on the mostly series. According to some processors, 
higher NDM pricing is enhancing dry buttermilk prices. Trading 
in the spot market has been more active this week. Demand from 
bakers is fair to good. However, some manufacturers are 
expecting a decrease in buyers' interest in the short term as 
the end of the baking season is near. Dry buttermilk processing 
is active, parallel with regional butter churning. Inventories 
vary from plant to plant. 
                                                            
F.O.B. WEST: .8500 - .9800   MOSTLY:  .8900 - .9200
