Dry whey prices in the Central region are steady to fractionally 
higher in a steady market. A few industry contacts feel whey prices 
are firming. Whey production is steady this week. Following a week of 
active trading, domestic whey sales slowed for some sellers. Many 
industry contacts report having sufficient supplies for contractual 
and spot requests. A handful of suppliers are offering additional 
loads to contracted buyers. A few contacts speculate a considerable 
amount of dry whey is ending up in warehouses. Several contacts report 
interest from international buyers. The majority of sales for these 
whey marketers are being exported.  Animal feed whey prices are steady 
this week. Manufacturers report large quantities of off specification 
dry whey available in the marketplace. Interest is present where space 
allows. Feed blenders report active production this week in a steady 
market.
