Weekly Animal Feed, Central U.S.: July 10, 2025
Dry whey prices increased at the bottom of the price range and across the mostly price series in the Central region this week. Meanwhile, the top of the price range was unchanged. Spot dry whey inventories are tight, and contacts report certain manufacturers are sold out of loads for immediate shipment. Some contacts reported resale dry whey prices above the top of the range this week, noting third parties are the only option for loads produced by specific manufacturers. Contacts report markets for whey protein concentrate 80% and whey protein isolate remain bullish amid strong domestic and export demand. Manufacturers continue to focus production schedules on these higher value products, limiting dry whey output. Prices for animal feed whey are steady this week and production remains minimal.

Spot milk load prices are reported down to $1 below Class for the West and down to Class III flat market for the East. Demand for Class I is seasonally lighter.
