Report Supplied by USDA
Market Comment: Prices were
unchanged to slightly higher. Off
farm movement was tapering a
bit, but combined with previous
committments was sufficient to
maintain full processing
schedules. Canner movement was
light and prices somewhat
negotiable in an effort to stimulate
sales during a period of lighter
buying interest. The undertone
was at least steady.
Prices Paid at Farm:
Light Type Hens: 5-7, mostly 5%-
6%.
F. 0.8. Plant: 8%-9%, mostly 9-

Thursday, May 1,1986
Market Comment: Demand for
ready to cook whole birds
remained slow, and discounting
was a prime factor in effecting
clearances at several plants.
Demand in the parts complex
continued to center on tight sup
plies of legs and particularly leg
quarters. Wings were in fairly
good balance. The earlier calls for
cutlets continued to keep this
supply clearing while rib-on and
line-on breasts were trading at
lower trending prices.
Live supplies were moderate.
Weights were mixed but generally
desirable. Slaughter schedules
