MD DA340 Dry Buttermilk  - West                             

MADISON, WI.  March 16, 2017 (REPORT 11)                    

DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       
                                                            
Western f.o.b. spot prices for dry buttermilk are mixed on the 
range. However, pricing is lower on the mostly series as both 
butterfat and nonfat solids trend lower. In addition, dry 
buttermilk supplies are more available in the spot market. The 
current NDM prices are putting pressure on dry buttermilk 
values. The top price of the range is reflecting some trades 
based on specific brands while the bottom is reflecting moderate 
load sales from 2016 production. Demands from bakers and ice 
cream makers are fair to good. Dry buttermilk output is slightly 
increasing in line with regional butter churning rates. 
Inventories are more in balance, compared to a few weeks ago.    

F.O.B. WEST: .8200 - 1.0500   MOSTLY:  .8800 - 1.0000
