MD DA530 Dry Whey - Central                                      

MADISON, WI.  September 03, 2015 (REPORT 35)                     

DRY WHEY - CENTRAL                                               
                                                                 
Central dry whey prices are mostly lower, but the market tone is mixed. 
Current prices are sparking some interest in longer-term buying. A few end 
users report they finalized monthly, market-based contracts. Some export 
sales to Southeast Asia have concluded recently, and manufacturers are 
preparing those loads for shipment. Conversely, end users also report 
receiving unsolicited offers from brokers/resellers from the Central and 
West regions, indicating the secondary market participants may have 
growing inventories. Central dry whey production is steady. As milk 
intakes decline seasonally, some cheese makers are fortifying with NDM to 
boost cheese yields. Spot milk availability is light. Animal feed dry whey 
prices are steady to lower on a lightly tested market. End users report 
inputs for animal feed products are readily available, including human 
food dry whey, whey protein concentrate, and pro-cream ingredients. With 
these options available, interest is light for buying animal feed dry 
whey. Sales of blended animal feed into dairy herd replacement and dairy 
beef operations are active; sales into veal accounts are trending lower.
