MD DA340 Dry Buttermilk  - West                             

MADISON, WI.  August 31, 2017 (REPORT 35)                   

DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       

F.O.B prices for western dry buttermilk moved up at the bottom 
of the range and the top of the mostly price series. Contacts 
report a strong demand in a tight market. Sales outside of 
contracts are limited due to restricted supplies of dry 
buttermilk. Many buyers/end-users are looking to buy dry 
buttermilk, but can't seem to find available supplies in the 
spot market. Production is lower as higher cream demand for 
other dairy processing activities instead of butter churning is 
restraining the production of buttermilk powder. The market 
undertone is unsettled.   
                                                            
F.O.B. WEST: .8300 - .9600   MOSTLY:  .9100 - .9400
