Market Comment: Demand for
ready to cook whole birds was
fairly good, but the inquiry was
lighter on product was available in
some quarters. Parts were in
much the same position as whole
birds and clearances were a bit
more difficult. Less than trucklot
asking prices were one cent higher
at 61-68 cents, and processors could
maintain their normal mark-up
but no more than that. Live sup
plies were moderate. Weights were
desirable to occasionally lighter
than desired. Slaughter schedules
were moderately heavy. The
undertone was steady.
