CREAM MULTIPLES
WEST
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Cream shows a mixed tone. Cream is heavy in the Mountain States, with loads available across the region. In contrast, availability in California has tightened, and some contacts report having to purchase more spot loads than they preferred.
CENTRAL
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Cream supplies are steady, with spot loads generally available to regional buyers. Contacts describe cream markets as balanced, supported by consistent contracted volumes. Butter makers report active churning schedules, and most spot cream volumes continue to clear toward Class II and Class III users. Regional churns are operating on regular schedules, and contacts note no significant near-term shifts in cream availability are expected.
NORTHEAST
Here’s what USDA/AMS had to say:
Cream is available throughout the Northeast. Spot offers are plentiful, and buying interest is light. Multiples for All Classes are unchanged on the lower end of the range and higher on the upper end. Class II multiples are higher on both ends.
