DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       
                                                            
Western f.o.b. spot prices for dry buttermilk are unchanged on 
the range and mostly series. Overall, the market is seasonally 
weak as the demand, mainly from the bakery sector, is below the 
current supply. The priority for many plant managers is to clear 
heavy condensed skim volumes into NDM/SMP. Thus, dry buttermilk 
production is irregular in most plants. Meanwhile, some regional 
ice cream makers started to pull more condensed buttermilk 
loads, which is helping to reduce drying schedules. In general, 
dry buttermilk stocks remain high in the west region.


F.O.B. WEST: .7500 - .9000   MOSTLY:  .8000 - .8500
