Most plants easily fill order and have some additional products available, but a few still remain in a more favorable balance. Movement on parts is light and unaggressive with the only improved call noted on leg quarters for next week’s shipment. Overall slaughter is light as an occasional plant is closed and some others are cutting back on their kill. In addition, some downtime is scheduled for tomorrow. Live supplies are tight to adequate. Weights remain light in most quarters. Undertone is weak. Today’s L.T.L. asking prices are .01-.02 lower on U.S. Grade A at 62- 69 cents. Estimated slaughter of broiler fryers in Delmarva (000).
