under price pressure from buyers
but fair to fairly good overall.
Undertone at least steady.

Delmarva Poultry
Thursday, October 3
Report supplied by USDA
Market Comment; Demand for
both whole birds and parts was
light to fair and unaggressive.
Clearances were in a range of slow
to fair for the most part.
Discounting on leg and leg quar
ters was commonplace in an effort
to keep stocks in balance. Other
items met a mixed but generally
no better than fair call overall.
Live supplies were fully adequate.
Weights remained mostly
desirable to heavier than desired.
Slaughter schedules were a bit
lighter and moderate in total. The
undertone was unsettled but
generally only steady.
Today’s L.T.L. asking prices
were 1 cent higher on U.S. Grade A
at 47-49 cents.
Estimated slaughter of broiler
fryers in Delmarva (000).
Estimated 10/3 1,916,000; Actual
9/261,668,000.
