Delmarva Poultry
Thursday, November 17
Report supplied by USDA
Market Comment: RTC
movement on whole birds is fair to
occasionally good, but overall the
demand has tapered a little at
most plants. Breast items continue
to clean satisfactorily while leg
and leg quarters are difficult to
clear under a light and
unaggressive demand. Wings are
fair, giblets are good. Overall
slaughter is light as most plants
have reduced their kill. Ap
proximately half the number of
plants in Delmarva will not be
open tomorrow. Live supplies are
adequate. Weights range from
lighter than desired to desirable.
Undertone is fully steady.
Today’s L.T.L. asking prices are
unchanged on U.S. Grade A at .57-
.62 cents
