cheese output continues to be strong. The market tone is weak and 
there have been a few spots sales. The strength of the dollar has led

cream producers are taking all contracted loads as their production 
continues to climb. Animal feed prices are unchanged. All contracts 
are being met. Demand is steady to lower as some manufacturers only 
produce on a limited basis. Inventory levels are mixed.
