DRY WHEY - WEST                                                  

Western whey prices are steady to lower this week. The top end of the 
mostly price series dropped a penny. The market tone for dry whey is flat 
to softening slightly. A few manufacturers have seen decent movement of 
dry whey, selling volumes of whey into export markets. However, some 
industry contacts suggest demand is a little light and buyers are taking a 
wait and see approach. Inventories are mixed. Some industry contacts 
report stocks are a little long, while a few other processors have been 
able to aggressively work contract sales and stay ahead of their stocks. 
Production remains steady and active.
