Market Comment: Prices were
unchanged to one cent higher.
Demand for cartoned eggs was
fair. Interest for bulk packed large
and extra large was moderately
good as some outlets supplement
needs due to some flocks still being
molted, also, breaker buying in
terest has turned active with
higher prices paid for class one
equalled quality. Floor stocks were
no more than adequate. A few
quarter’s lighter egg sizes starting
to develop due to the very hot
weather.
Prices to retailers: sales to
volume buyers, consumer grades

Wednesday, August 14
Report supplied by USDA
Market Comment: Prices
generally trended as much as two
cents lower. Major price
resistance developed on bulk fowl
meat as further processors have
begun to use broiler and fryer
meat in place of fowl meat. The
undertone on live fowl prices have
shifted to a weak position. Demand
for live fowl was lighter, and
producer offerings were adequate.
Prices Paid at Farm:
