Report supplied by USDA
Market Comment: The overall
slaughter has increased at most
plants, but trading still remains
limited and at 27 cents delivered,
unchanged from last week. The
availability of live is short of plant
needs as they run only parttime
schedules. Canner pack demand is
light.
Prices Paid at Farm:
Light Type Hens: Too few to
report.
F. 0.8. Plant : Too few to report.

Delmarva Poultry
Thursday, January 19
Report supplied by USDA
Market Comment: Ready to
cook movement on whole birds is
good to very good. Current
production easily clears, and most
plants are oversold. Cutlets and
breasts are moving, and supplies
continue to clear. Legs remain
short, and although some buyers
are balking, orders still remain
strong. Leg quarters are in light
supply as most plants are no longer
cutting them at this time. Wing
movement is quite satisfactory.
Slaughter schedules are
moderate, and several plants are
not operating Friday. Live sup
plies are adequate at mostly
lighter than desired weights.
Undertone firm.
Today’s L.T.L. asking prices are
.06 higher on U.S. Grade A at 66-71
cents.

Thursday, January 19
Report supplied by USDA
MARKET COMMENT: Prices
higher. Cartoned egg movement
was good as packers noted add on
orders for today and good orders
for Friday. Jumbos remain long in
most quarters. Extra large are
adequate to fully adequate but kept
in balance due to being substituted
into large cartons. Large are
adequate. Mediums and smalls are
short from local production and
must be supplemented by outside
purchases. Inquiry for nest runs
remains fairly active in some
quarters. Undertone is fully
steady.
