Delmarva Poultry
Thursday, Apr. 10,1986
Market Comment: Demand for
ready to cook whole birds was very
good and current production
was well-cleared. Cutlets and
breasts were tight for a fairly good
call. Wings were short as demand
was brisk and unfilled. Legs and
leg quarters were clearing
satisfactorily and were no more
than adequate overall. Less than
trucklot asking prices were one
cent higher at 50-57 cents. Live
supplies were moderate. Weights
were irregular with several plants
having trouble in filling orders on
2% lb. sizes. Slaughter was
moderately heavy. Undertone was
firm.
Estimated slaughter of broiler
fryers in Delmarva:
Estimated 4/10 1,962,000; Actual
4/31,643,000.
Actual 4/81,943,000.
Average Weights 4/8 4.43, 4/1
4.43.
Eastern PA and
NJ Poultry
Wednesday, Apr. 9,1986
Report Supplied by USDA
Market Comment: Prices were
unchanged to as much as one cent
lower. Movement of light type for
shipment into Canada increased in
the New England section, and
outside buying interest from
Midwest processors was fair.
Locally, demand was fair for the
ample offerings, with most
processor bookings ranging up to
four weeks.
Prices Paid at Farm:
Light Type Hens; 5%-6, mostly
5%-6.
