DRY WHEY - WEST

Prices for Western whey are lower on the top of the range and both 
ends of the mostly price series. The bottom of the range held steady. 
In some areas, whey is offered in the spot market at discounted 
prices. Production is ongoing and sufficient to meet end-users' needs. 
Supplies continue to be tight to comfortable. In the international 
market, U.S. whey is facing price pressures from Europe and Canada. 
Industry contacts say whey is becoming more difficult to move at 
higher prices. Domestic demand is relatively stable.
