MD DA350 Dry Buttermilk (Central and East)                  

MADISON, WI.  November 03, 2016 (REPORT 44)                 


DRY BUTTERMILK - CENTRAL AND EAST                           
                                                            
CENTRAL: Dry buttermilk prices are unchanged. Production is in 
line with active holiday butter churning. Contract sales make up 
the bulk of trading activity. Buyers who are interested in dry 
buttermilk spot loads are restricted at times, due to light 
inventories. In addition, processors in some channels are only 
selling condensed buttermilk, further limiting dry buttermilk 
availability. The market undertone is steady. 
EAST: Dry buttermilk prices are steady. Some manufacturers with 
butter processing capability report little to no churning taking 
place as the unavailability of cream suppresses dry buttermilk 
production. Current stocks remain light. Sluggish trading helps 
add to some inventories. Trading outside of contracted volumes is 
limited, with little surplus dry buttermilk to fill spot needs. 
The market undertone is steady.  

F.O.B. CENTRAL/EAST:    .8400 - .9250
