MD DA530 Dry Whey - Central                                      

MADISON, WI.  July 30, 2015 (REPORT 30)                          

DRY WHEY - CENTRAL  

Central whey prices were mainly lower this week. There were limited, 
but large spot sales, which aided in lower pricing. The market tone is 
weak. Some manufacturers do not want to keep high inventory levels. 
Several end users are reporting buying only for current needs as they 
wait to see how low prices will go. Whey production remains active as 
cheese manufacturing is strong. Some dry whey manufacturers are 
choosing to sell condensed whey in order to use available drying time 
for other products. Some sources indicate that there was condensed 
whey that did not find a home. Q1 2016 contract negotiations have 
begun for some buyers and sellers. Animal feed whey prices were 
steady. Some manufacturers are reporting a slight decrease in 
production. The market tone is unsettled as the price of veal calves 
continues to remain high.  

F.O.B. CENTRAL:    .2500 - .4400   MOSTLY:    .2600 - .3450      
F.O.B. CENTRAL: ANIMAL FEED MILK REPLACER:    .2000 - .2500
