ready to cook whole birds is fair at
best with most processors in
dicating disappointment in today’s
damand. Parts are moving better
uian whole birds, but here again
the demand is not that aggressive,
and interest centers on leg quar
ters and wings. Today’s LTL
asking prices are unchanged on
U.S. Grade A at 58 to 63 cents, but
additional product is still being
discounted in several quarters.
Slaughter is moderate as an
occasional plant is not operating
today. Live supplies are adequate
at improving but still irregular
weights. Undertone steady.
Estamated slaughter of broiler
fryers inDelmarva (000).
