MD DA530 Dry Whey - Central                                      

MADISON, WI.  November 12, 2015 (REPORT 45)                      

DRY WHEY - CENTRAL                                               
                                                                 
Central dry whey prices are unchanged to fractionally higher. The market 
tone is mixed as f.o.b. stocks from a number of sources have moderated. 
Conversely, some resellers still have inventories to clear ahead of the 
end of the year. Buyers are considering loads from all sources, weighing 
price and quality characteristics ahead of purchasing decisions. 
Contracting to cover 2016 dry whey needs is ongoing, but progress is slow. 
Production of dry whey is steady, with cheese plant operators reporting 
that active interest for Italian cheese varieties is helping maintain dry 
whey output. Cheddar manufacturers indicate orders have backed down 
slightly as holiday orders are close to complete. Animal feed dry whey 
prices are steady. End users indicate they are able to get the volumes 
they need on a regular basis. 

F.O.B. CENTRAL:    .1775 - .2800   MOSTLY:    .1900 - .2350      
F.O.B. CENTRAL: ANIMAL FEED MILK REPLACER:    .1425 - .1900
