MADISON, WI.  February 12, 2015 (REPORT 6)                       

DRY WHEY - CENTRAL                                               

Central dry whey mostly prices are down, but the range remains steady.  
Manufacturers are filling supply contracts and spot demand is picking 
up. End users are getting offers but most buyers are either only 
purchasing for current needs or are using inventories on hand as they 
take a wait-and-see approach on pricing. Some manufacturers are 
reporting that the port slowdowns in the West are affecting demand, 
both domestic and international. ANIMAL FEED WHEY prices are steady.  
The market tone is weaker with manufacturers meeting contract 
obligations.  Production is lower.
