DRY WHEY - CENTRAL                                               
                                                                                                                           
Central dry whey prices are steady on the range, but slightly declined at 
the top of the mostly price series. Central dry whey spot market activity 
was somewhat active, but some producers who have offered dry whey out are 
awaiting buyers who are exhibiting a bit more patience as prices have shown 
some continued softness. Conversely, other contacts suggest the whey markets 
should firm shortly, as current price declines are due to heavy production 
and building inventories, which some producers seem to be getting under 
control as milk production is past the peak. Nevertheless, whey inventories 
are currently available. Animal feed whey prices increased on the top of the 
range, as some end users who made spot purchases found sought-after brands 
available. Animal feed whey inventories remain mixed, but contacts suggest 
there are supplies available from both manufacturers and resell sources, 
depending on the specificities required by end users.
