MADISON, WI.  July 13, 2017 (REPORT 28)                          

CASEIN - NATIONAL                                                
 
Rennet casein prices are steady to weaker. Acid casein prices are steady. 
Some casein manufacturers exhibiting at a recent international food 
exposition were working harder to overcome recent casein sales, 
characterized as tepid. Expectations of higher milk production in New 
Zealand in the new season are viewed as potentially increasing casein 
production. There is some uncertainty as to casein markets at this time.
