Delmarva Poultry
Thursday, January 17
Report supplied by USDA
Market Comment: Movement on
whole birds is generally reported
as fair. Heavy snows throughout
the area have helped to stabilize
the market. Demand on parts is
also leveling off as processors look
to effects of weather on demand.
Live supplies were adequate
although some plants were con
templating a cutback due to in
clement weather. Sizes were
desirable. The undertone was
steady.
Today’s L.T.L. asking prices are
unchanged to lower on U.S. Grade
A at 53-59 cents.
Estimated slaughter of broiler
fryers in Delmarva (000).
Estimated 1/17 1,930,000; Actual
1/10 1,736,000; Actual 1/15
1,971,000; Average Weights 1/15

Market Comment: Prices were
unchanged to 2 cents higher on all
sizes. Cartoned egg demand
remained good in most quarters.
Supplies and offerings were
adequate to tight mainly on large
and heavier graded sizes. Nest run
supplies were generally light and
where available confidently held,
particularly class I’s. Retail
promotional activity was
stimulating additional movement
in several quarters and additional
featuring was planned for next
week. The undertone was firm.
