MD DA540 Dry Whey - West                                         

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

DRY WHEY - WEST                                                  

Western whey prices are steady to higher. A few spot sales edged the top 
of the mostly price series up slightly. Inventories are generally tight. A 
few manufacturers report contracts are in place for much of 2017 and 
remaining supplies are getting plenty of interest. Production has eased 
back as some processors have moved production focus to making higher 
protein products. Demand is solid. However, some contacts note buyers have 
pulled back from higher prices.
