MD DA340 Dry Buttermilk  - West                             

MADISON, WI.  June 15, 2017 (REPORT 24)                     

DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       

In the west, f.o.b. spot prices for dry buttermilk shifted up, 
in line with higher premiums for butterfat. With less milk/cream 
availability and strong demand for fat, some industry 
participants feel the dry buttermilk market is likely to 
continue firming. Demand from ice cream makers is seasonally 
robust. Dry buttermilk production is irregular as most plant 
managers are focusing on converting skim milk volumes into 
NDM/SMP. Therefore, spot trading is light as dry buttermilk 
inventories are tight and highly committed thru contracts. 
 
F.O.B. WEST: .8300 - .9400   MOSTLY:  .8800 - .9200
