MD DA540 Dry Whey - West                                         

MADISON, WI.  August 03, 2017 (REPORT 31)                        

DRY WHEY - WEST                                                  

Western whey prices moved lower at the top of the range and bottom of the 
mostly price series. Whey that is rBST-free, white or meets other end user 
desired characteristics seems to capture slightly higher prices. Demand is 
mixed. Industry contacts say domestic demand is fair, but quiet in Mexico 
and slow in Asia. Inventories are a little heavy. Some market participants 
report more production of dry whey in preference to higher protein 
concentrations.
