MD DA530 Dry Whey - Central                                      

MADISON, WI.  October 20, 2016 (REPORT 42)                       

DRY WHEY - CENTRAL                                               

Central whey prices moved lower on the bottom of both the range and mostly 
price series, but held steady at the top. Some buyers are willing to take a 
wait and see attitude, opting to work through inventories or look for bargains. 
Demand is steady and manufacturers report spot sales are there if dry whey is 
available. Dry whey inventories are tighter than earlier in the summer, but a 
few manufacturers report a willingness to carry a little heavier stocks into 
next year. Production is steady and in line with cheese production. Industry 
contacts say demand from Southeast Asia for feed proteins has backed off 
somewhat and is causing some whey, animal feed whey and whey permeates to back 
up into domestic markets. Prices held steady for animal feed whey.


F.O.B. CENTRAL:    .2600 - .4100   MOSTLY:    .3050 - .3500      
F.O.B. CENTRAL: ANIMAL FEED MILK REPLACER:    .2100 - .2950
