Delmarva Poultry
Thursday, Dec. 26
Report supplied by USDA
Market Comment: Buying in
terest continued good for whole
birds and parts with breast and
wing items in best call. Processor
offerings were light, and some
demand for prompt shipment were
on a back-order basis. Demand for
the week of Jan. 5 was spotty but
also good due to promotional ac
tivity.
Today’s processing schedules
were heavy. Light weights were
light in some instances, desirable
in others and were occasionally on
the heavy side.
Today’s L.T.L. asking prices
ranged .47-.53 cents.

fryers in Delmarva (000).
