Delmarva Poultry
Thursday, Oct. 9,1986
Market Comment: Movement of
ready to cook whole birds was
moderate to good. Offerings were
generally in-balance and clearing
satisfactorily. In the parts com
plex, white meat items were
usually adequate. Legs were
clearing quite well while leg
quarters were slow movers at
some spots. Wings were somewhat
more available today and
generally fully adequate. Less
than trucklot asking prices were
again higher at 67-72 cents. Live
supplies were moderate to light.
Weights, were mixed but generally
desirable. Slaughter schedules
were very light due to several
plants curtailing production. The
undertone remained firm and
heavily influenced by conditions in
southern production areas.
Estimated slaughter of broiler
fryers in Delmarva:
Estimated 10/9 1,677,000; Actual
10/22,010,000.
Actual 10/71,630,000.
Average Weights 10/7 4.45, 9/30
4.59.
