DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       
                                                            
Western dry buttermilk f.o.b. spot prices are mostly higher on 
light trading. The market tone continues firming, parallel with 
the NDM market. Western butter churning continues active, but 
some processors are using condensed buttermilk volumes for 
internal purposes. Therefore, dry buttermilk production has been 
irregular. At this point, inventories are very tight in most 
processing plants. The December 2016 Dairy Market News monthly 
average for the West dry buttermilk mostly series is $0.9120 
compared to $0.8675 a year ago. 

F.O.B. WEST: .9200 - 1.0200   MOSTLY:  .9500 - 1.0000
