Delmarva Poultry
Thursday, Jan. 30

ready to cook whole birds was
irregular but for the most part was

Weights were mixed but mostly
desirable. Slaughter schedules
were light. The undertone
reflected slight improvement but
was only about steady to best.

were 1-2 cents lower on U.S. Grade
A at .49-.56 cents.
