Delmarva Poultry
Thursday, February 9
Report supplied by USDA
Market Comment: Ready to
cook movement on whole birds is
fair. Processors indicated that
regular customers were taking
their normal commitments, but
any excess products were difficult
to move. Wings are well-cleared.
Breasts and cutlets are moving
quite satisfactorily while legs and
leg quarters are slow to clear
despite lower price levels.
Slaughter is moderate overall.
Live supplies are light to adequate.
Weights are lighter than desired to
occasionally desirable. Undertone
is steady at best.
Estimated slaughter of broiler
fryers in Delmarva (000).
Estimated 2/9 1,719; Actual 2/2
1,545; Actual 2/7 1,815; Average
Weights 2/7 4.08; Average Weights

Wednesday, February 8
Report supplied by USDA
Market Comment: Prices are
unchanged, but trading
representing these prices is very
limited, processing plants ran but
on much reduced schedules, and
this week’s kill did not even total a
normal full day’s kill at most
plants. Offerings of live are very
light and traders do not see much
relief despite sharply lowever egg
values.
Light Type Hens: 24-25.
F. 0.8. Plant: 28-29.
