CREAM MULTIPLES
WEST
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Cream is generally more available with the holiday weekend. However, cream demand did not change much for week 27 compared to week 26, and cream multiples are unchanged.
CENTRAL
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Milk components are declining, but contacts report this week’s holiday is leaving more cream available for spot purchasing and pushing cream multiples lower. Ice cream and butter makers continue to utilize cream to run busy production schedules.
NORTHEAST
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Cream multiples declined at the bottom end of the range as manufacturers work to find homes for loads ahead of the 4th of July holiday. Contacts report spot cream volumes are moving from the mid-1.10s to the low 1.30s.
