Cash butter buying expected to fall

A dairy market analyst says she’s watching how demand for butter weakens moving into the holidays.

Sarina Sharp with the Daily Dairy Report tells Brownfield market signals earlier this year encouraged processors to sell cream rather than churn.  In recent months grocers have been fearful of running out with the lower inventories.

“We were not going to run out of butter at large, but no grocery store wanted to be the one with empty shelves,” she says.
