MD DA340 Dry Buttermilk  - West                             

MADISON, WI.  July 13, 2017 (REPORT 28)                     

DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       
                                                            
Western f.o.b. prices for dry buttermilk are steady on moderate 
trading. The market is in balance as supply is proportional with 
the current buyers' demands. Drying schedules for condensed 
buttermilk are limited as most dryers are full clearing skim 
milk volumes. Nevertheless, dry buttermilk supplies are enough 
to meet buyers/end users contractual and spot requests.

The NASS Dairy Products report noted U.S. dry buttermilk 
production during May 2017 totaled 9.4 million pounds, 6.7 
percent higher than a year ago, and 7.2 percent above the 
previous month. Total U.S. dry buttermilk month ending stocks 
for May were 20.7 million pounds, 14.3 percent below last year. 

F.O.B. WEST: .8200 - .9400   MOSTLY:  .9000 - .9200
