MD DA340 Dry Buttermilk - West                             

MADISON, WI.  February 09, 2012 (REPORT 6)                  

DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       

Western pricing levels for dry buttermilk prices continue to 
trend lower in a weak market.  Demand is limited beyond contract 
volumes.  Higher milk intakes and churning schedules continue to 
pressure processors and the dryer times available for making 
buttermilk powder are being diminished.  Processors are 
attempting to move condensed buttermilk with limited success.   
Dry buttermilk stocks are moderate to heavy and available from 
most all producers in the region.  

F.O.B. WEST: 1.2300 - 1.3500   MOSTLY:  1.2700 - 1.3350
