Thursday, July 31,1986
Market Comment: Movement of
ready to cook whole birds was
moderate to good. Offerings were
irregularly available but
clearances were usually easier
than earlier in the week. Demand
for parts continued to increase add
cutlets and breast meat cleared
with ease. Leg quarters and legs
were again well-cleared. Wings
had improved and were in much
better balance with demand. Less
than trucklot asking prices were
generally unchanged to one cent
higher and seller premiums were
getting back to normal in many
instances. Live supplies were
mostly moderate. Weights
desirable to light. Slaughter
schedules were moderate. The
undertone was at least steady and
was being stimulated in part by
increased need for first of the
month business and demand from
the fast food industry.

Market Comment; Trading too
limited to report prices. Spent hen
movement was extremely light
and plants ran short or no
schedules at all. Some light volume
moved at 11 to 12 cents at farm. Bid
prices were noted as a frivolous
venture as sellers were intent on
retaining hens for their
heavyweight egg production. The
undertone was firm.
Prices Paid at Farm:
Light Type Hens: too few,
mostly too few.
F. 0.8. Plant: too few.
