MD_DA340 DA MD DA340 Dry Buttermilk - West MADISON, WI. June 1, 2017 (REPORT 22) DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST Western dry buttermilk prices shifted higher on the bottom of the range and both ends of the mostly series. Although spot sales are limited, many of them are made at the upper end of the range. The market undertone is balanced. Production levels are unchanged to lower as less manufacturers are drying additional loads of buttermilk. With the tightening of cream, some suppliers are either producing lower quantities of butter or opting out of butter production. Therefore, less buttermilk is available in the dairy market. Dry buttermilk demand is steady and mostly focused on satisfying immediate contracts. F.O.B.
