DRY WHEY - CENTRAL  

Central dry whey prices are steady to lower. The bottom of the range 
remained steady and the top of the range moved lower and the mostly 
moved lower. Buyers and sellers believe that pricing will go lower.   
Manufacturers are filling supply contracts and buyers are taking loads 
on time. Spot demand is lower this week. End users are getting offers 
but most 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 international demand. ANIMAL FEED WHEY prices are 
steady. The market tone is weaker with manufacturers meeting contract 
obligations. Production is lower.
