MD DA530 Dry Whey - Central                                      

MADISON, WI.  December 22, 2016 (REPORT 51)                      

DRY WHEY - CENTRAL                                               

For central whey, the bottom of the range and top of the mostly price series 
edged higher this week. Manufacturers report much of their work to get Q1 and 
2017 annual contracts is finished. Demand is steady with most current activity 
flowing through contracts. Some industry contacts say the market has turned 
quiet as buyers and sellers take a break for the winter holidays. Manufacturers 
are making only a few offers and buyers seem content to work through existing 
inventories. Processor inventories are comfortable and possibly a little lower 
than previous weeks. Dry whey production is steady. Animal feed whey prices are 
unchanged. Feed whey is moving well through current contracts.


F.O.B. CENTRAL:    .3300 - .4400   MOSTLY:    .3700 - .4075      
F.O.B. CENTRAL: ANIMAL FEED MILK REPLACER:    .2700 - .3725
