Delmarva Poultry
Thursday, March 15
Report supplied by USDA
Market Comment; Movement on
ready to cook whole birds was a
little better today but still remains
fair in most quarters. While
current production is clearing,
there remains some additional
products available for sale. Cutlets
are irregular as some plants are
short while others have an
adequate supply. The balance of
items is clearing reasonably well
under a fair demand.
Slaughter schedules are
moderately heavy. Live supplies
are adequate. Weights are
desireable in most quarters.
Undertone is generally steady.
Today’s L.T.L. asking prices are
unchanged on U.S. Grade A at 62-67
cents.

fryers in Delmarva (000).

irregular, but 27 cents delivered
into the plant is now the most being
paid for next week’s shipment.

full schedules. Live offerings are
spotty and expected to tighten up
again as Easter approaches.

Light Type Hens: 23-26.
F. 0.8. Plant: 27-28, mostly 27.
