In the West, the dry whey price range widened with prices moving lower at the 
bottom and higher at the top. The mostly price series moved lower at the bottom 
and is unchanged at the top. Domestic demand varies from steady to stronger. 
Export demand is steady. Spot load availability continues to be tight in the 
region. Dry whey production schedules vary from somewhat lighter to somewhat 
stronger. Cheese manufacturing continues to make adequate volumes of liquid 
whey for sweet whey, whey protein concentrates (WPC), and whey protein isolates

keep sweet whey inventories tight.
