Western dry buttermilk f.o.b. spot prices are mixed on the 
range, but steady on the mostly series. A few spot transactions 
pulled slightly down the top of the range. Some industry 
contacts suggest the market has been quiet throughout the week. 
Interest from bakers and some Class II processors is sluggish. 
Dry buttermilk supplies are slightly lower as some plant 
managers are clearing more condensed buttermilk volumes into ice 
cream manufacturing. 

The NASS Dairy Products report noted U.S. dry buttermilk 
production during March 2017 totaled 9.8 million pounds, 1.9 
percent higher than a year ago, but 7.6 percentage lower from 
the previous month. Total U.S. dry buttermilk month ending
