MD_DA530 Dry Whey - Central U.S. Report 13 - Released on March 30, 2023 Dry whey prices were steady on the bottom of the range, but moved higher at every other facet. Midwestern supplies continue to be reported as firm. Some processors say within a few weeks, recently produced loads will begin to be offered out, but current spot supplies are short. Brokers say bids below the $.40 mark are gaining zero traction. Despite widely and consistently available milk supplies, dry whey is moving well through current channels. A number of contacts do not expect the current steady/bullish push to last long, but price movements downward are not expected near term. Animal feed whey prices were unchanged after last week's increase. A number of animal feed processors say they are finding higher protein concentrates at notably lower prices, which has enticed them to take on some volumes of whey protein 80% or similar alternatives.
