CHEESE HIGHLIGHTS: Milk is plentiful for cheese making in all regions. In the Midwest, some cheesemakers are keeping full schedules while others report some downtime for scheduled maintenance this and next week. Some volumes of spot milk are being sold at a discount in the Midwest, though demand slowdowns are preventing some cheesemakers from purchasing additional loads of milk. Some Midwestern retail customers have, reportedly, met their holiday purchasing needs.
BUTTER HIGHLIGHTS: Cream is available across all regions, and contacts in the Northeast say volumes are meeting processors' needs. Some Central butter makers report they are declining spot load offers of cream as they have reached their capacities. Butter makers in the West are running active schedules to work through available cream, though some say labor shortages are preventing them from running full churning schedules. In the Northeast and Central regions, butter churning is active. Retail customers in the Northeast are buying butter ahead of the winter holidays. Demand for butter is strong from both retail and food service customers in the West. Central region butter contacts also report strong demand for unsalted and salted butter.
FLUID MILK HIGHLIGHTS: Milk production is mixed across the United States this week. While milk outputs are trending steady to higher in much of the country, industry contacts report slightly lower milk production in California and in the mountain states of Colorado, Idaho, and Utah. In the East, industry contacts report balancing plant intakes were up slightly over the holiday last week, but bottling demand has picked up once again, and drying activity has lessened.mplete report online at wisfarmer.com
