Wednesday, Dec. 5,
Broiler-Fryer Market
Ready to cook movement light
and disappointing. Slaughter
schedules sharply reduced at
several plants in line with
reduced needs. Less than trucklot
prices lower on both plant and US
Grade A. Occasional fillin load of
plant grade repeated at 33 cents.
Advance trading slow in
developing as both buyers and
sellers await further market
developments. Live supplies
ample at often heavier than
desired weights. Undertone weak
and unsettled.
Pool trucklot prices for
Thursday arrival: US Grade A
35-40, mostly 35-36. Plant Grade
34-38, mostly 34-35.
