Answers to Questions:
We primarily order 2% milk, the skim and fat free chocolate can vary, historically we use more skim than the fat free chocolate milk, but they are very close by the end of the year in their quantities. For example, October 2024 we ordered 2650 of 2%, 650 skim and 600 fat free chocolate. September 2025, we ordered 2950 2%, 550 skim and 700 fat free chocolate milk. It really just depends on our average daily census and the diet types.
