Class III milk futures were mixed on October 7, 2016, after a mostly lower trend, with October down $.05 at $14.99 and December up $.03 at $15.44. Spot cash cheese rose to $1.55 and barrels gained to $1.51.
Butter was $1.85 and nonfat dry milk was slightly lower at $.915.
Stabilizing futures and firmer cheese cash prices suggest the recent dairy decline may be pausing, which could limit further downside for dairy feed ingredients.
