Stakeholders convey milk production is strong in California. Handlers note November 2025 milk production is up from October 2025. Although most manufacturers are running at or near full capacity production schedules, a few plant managers note some downtime. Despite spot milk loads being tight, some are available.
Arizona and New Mexico handlers indicate farm level milk output is stronger. Manufacturers convey milk intakes are within seasonal expectations.
Pacific Northwest handlers convey recent cooler weather is putting milk production back on track with expectations putting milk intakes in better shape for holiday production pushes.
In the mountain states of Idaho, Utah, and Colorado, week over week milk output is mixed. Despite some stakeholders noting somewhat stronger milk production, spot milk availability is tight, especially in the Idaho/Utah part of the mountain states. Class I demand is strong, Class II and III demands are steady, and Class IV demand varies from steady to stronger, throughout the region.
Cream demand is stronger. Spot cream availability varies from steady to tighter. Cream multiples are unchanged for week 47. A few stakeholders note cream buyers purchasing additional loads for immediate or near term delivery to contractual purchase agreements, due to lack of spot loads. No changes in condensed skim milk demand or availability are reported.
