Demand for parts centered on cutlets and leg quarters. Most other items were slow in clearing. Slaughter schedules were cur tailed by light weights in some quarters; lighter demand in others. Live supplies were adequate to fully adequate. Weights in a wide but mostly desirable to heavy range. Today’s L.T.L. asking pricys were unchanged on U.S. Grade A at .49-.56 cents and were generally negotiable. Copyright 1984 by Lancaster Farming P.O. Box 366 - Utitz, PA 17543 Office: 22 E.
