## Why it matters

Higher year-over-year butter and cheese inventories indicate ample overall dairy stocks, limiting broad price support, although tight nearby Cheddar supplies may continue to support spot cheese values. The report also showed fluid milk sales were unchanged from a year earlier in August.
