Class III milk futures have traded sideways after peaking at $25.60 in April, and USDA data showed April US milk output down 1% year over year. The drop reflects 97,000 fewer cows rather than lower yields per cow.
US dairy exports also rose, with butter shipments at their highest monthly tonnage since 2014.
Fewer cows and firm export demand tighten the milk supply, supporting dairy prices and the value of dairy byproducts used in feed.
