MD DA530 Dry Whey - Central                                      

MADISON, WI.  December 29, 2016 (REPORT 52)                      

DRY WHEY - CENTRAL                                               

Central whey range prices are unchanged, but moved slightly higher at the top 
of the mostly price series. Manufacturers report dry whey is moving well 
through contracts, but spot market activity is quiet. Domestic buyers are not 
receiving many offers, nor are many customers actively searching for extra 
loads of dry whey. Some contacts suggest Southeast Asian markets are in a lull 
prior to the Chinese New Year. Manufacturers' inventories are comfortable to 
tight and production is steady. Animal feed whey prices moved higher. Industry 
contacts say good conditions for drying dairy product have made downgraded whey 
harder to find. Some contacts expect there may be more animal feed whey 
available after the holidays due to load carryovers and dryer delays. 

F.O.B. CENTRAL:    .3300 - .4400   MOSTLY:    .3700 - .4100      
F.O.B. CENTRAL: ANIMAL FEED MILK REPLACER:    .3000 - .4000
