CREAM MULTIPLES
WEST
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Cream volumes are seasonally decreasing but remain sufficient enough to accommodate the needs of stakeholders. Demand is stronger. Cream multiples moved slightly lower on the bottom ends of the All-Classes range.
CENTRAL
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Cream is available in the Central region, though contacts say spot offerings were lighter than last week. Ice cream and butter makers continue to pull on available cream supplies to run busy production schedules.
NORTHEAST
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Cream is still in heavy use this week. Butter churns are operating at or near capacity. Butter contacts report contract loads are sufficient to meet current production requirements. Spot loads of cream for Class II and Class III use are readily available. Cream multiples held steady at the bottom of the range, but rose at the top this week.
