TOTAL NUMBER COOPS: 349, Delmarva Poultry Thursday, December 15 Report supplied by USDA Market Comment: RTC movement on whole birds is a little slower today but still sufficient to clear current production and keep plants in good balance. Breasts and cutlets continue to struggle as little interest is shown even at lower values. Leg and leg quarters are fully adequate, but movement is mixed as some note a slightly better movement while other still find the demand slow. Wings move well even at the higher price levels. Overall slaughter is light as a couple of plants are not operating today. Live supplies are adequate. Weights irregular but are now desirable at most plants. Un dertime steady. Today’s L.T.L. asking prices are unchanged on U.S. Grade A .56-.60 cents. Estimated slaughter of broiler fryers in Delmarva (000).

Poultry Wednesday, December 14 Report supplied by USDA Market Comment: Prices have trended higher, but most traders are starting to show some resistance at current price levels, and some are bidding lower on both live and canner fowl. Of ferings are light, and the loss of birds from the quarantined area of Pennsylvania has curtailed operating time. The call for can ners is fair, but the substitution of broiler meat has lessened the overall demand on fowl meat. Prices Paid at Farm: Light Type Hens: 21-24, mostly 23-24. F. 0.8.
