MD DA340 Dry Buttermilk  - West                             

MADISON, WI.  October 19, 2017 (REPORT 42)                  

DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       
                                                            
Western f.o.b. spot prices for dry buttermilk are unchanged from 
last week. Spot sales activity is very light on a steady market. 
According to some processors, demands from bakers and processed 
cheese manufacturers are likely to improve in the short term 
ahead of the year-end holiday processing needs. However, the 
interest from ice cream manufacturers is seasonally weakening. 
Condensed buttermilk supplies are becoming more available for 
drying, thus dry buttermilk production is more active. 
Inventories are slightly increasing.

F.O.B. WEST: .8300 - .9500   MOSTLY:  .8900 - .9000
