DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       
                                                                                                                        
Western dry buttermilk f.o.b. spot prices are mixed on the 
range, but unchanged on the mostly series. Regional butter 
churning is generating large supplies of condensed buttermilk. 
However, most of these buttermilk intakes moving into ice cream 
manufacturing facilities. Presently, in most balancing plants, 
processors are prioritizing NDM/SMP production over dry 
buttermilk. Consequently, inventories are highly committed thru 
Q1 with limited availability in the spot market. Therefore, spot 
trading is light.

F.O.B. WEST: .9500 - 1.0500   MOSTLY:  .9800 - 1.0200
