Delmarva Poultry
Thursday, November IS
Report supplied by USDA
Market Comment; Movement on
ready to cook whole birds was
slow, and it was difficult to clear
current production. Carry-over of
whole birds was common today.
Demand for parts was light to fair
with breasts the most difficult item
to clear.
The slaughter remains very light
as an occasional plant was not
operating today and several will be
closed tomorrow. Live supplies
were adequate and weights were in
a wide range. Undertone weak and
unsettled.
Today’s L.T.L. asking prices are
.02 lower on U.S. Grade A at .50-.56

Philadelphia Eggs
Thursday, November 15
Report supplied by USDA
Market Comment: Prices un
changed to higher. Cartoned egg
movement was fairly good overall.
Floor stocks of large were at least
adequate for current needs in most
quarters. A fairly active inquiry
still existed for class l’s, but the
availability was limited. On the
other hand, graded loose were
available for immediate delivery;
Class 2’s were also being sought in
some quarters but not as
aggressively as class l’s. Some
inquiry noted in mediums, but this
interest was easily filled as graded
loose or class 3’s by local
producers. Extra large were in
balance overall. Supplies were
tight, and little or no excess
production was showing up.
Jumbos remain short of full trade
requirement.
