Thursday, October 4
Report supplied by USDA
Market Comment: Movement of
ready to cook whole birds was

centered on leg items and wings.
Breast items moved to an
irregular call.
Live supplies were adequate
with weights mostly desirable to
heavy. Slaughter schedules are
occasionally reduced but remain
moderately heavy overall. Un
dertone generally steady.
Today’s L.T.L. asking prices are
unchanged on U.S. Grade A 49-55
cents.

fryers in Delmarva (000).
Estimated 10/4 1,804,000; Actual
