Delmarva Poultry
Thursday, April 24,1986
Market Comment: Movement of
ready to cook whole birds was
moderate to moderately good and
clearances were particularly
maintained on the three pound and
lighter sizes. Demand for cutlets
continued to keep supplies well
cleared. Retail interest on rib-on
breast was declining. However, the
overall call for breast meat was
good. Demand for legs and par
ticularly leg quarters improved in
some plants, while others con
tinued to discount in an effort to
stimulate movement. Wings
remained ample and difficult to
clear. Less than trucklot asking
prices were unchanged at 52-80
cents. Live supplies were
moderate. Weights were mostly
desirable to heavier than desired.
Slaughter schedules were
moderate. The undertone was
steady.
Estimated slaughter of broiler
fryers in Delmarva:
Estimates 4/24,1,975,000; Actual
4/171,823,000.
Actual 4/221,900,000.
Average Weights 4/22 4.50, 4/15
4.43.

Thursday, April 24,1986
Report Supplied by USDA
Market Comment: Prices were
unchanged on large and extra
large, unchanged to lower on
mediums. Demand was very
mixed within the range of light to
occasionally good and mainly
centered on the large sizes. Retail
promotional activity was spotty for
both this and next week’s period.
Graded supplies were in close
balance to fully adequate on large
and extra large. Local supplies of
mediums were unevely balanced
but the overall availability was
quite heavy for current needs. Nest
run interest remained centered on
tightening supplies of class ones.
Prices to retailers: sales to
