Delmarva Poultry
Thursday, Nov. 4,1986
Market Comment: Movement of
ready to cook whole birds was
slightly improved overall;
however, still just fair at most
points. Offerings ranged from
cleared to readily available.
Wings continued to clear to a brisk
call and prices continued higher.
Legs and leg quarter movement
was better in spots but supplies
were still available. Breast meat
cleared to an irregular call;
supplies were adequate to fully
adequate with boneless, skinless in
a better balance position. Less
than truck-lot asking prices were
generally unchanged at 56-62 cents
and some sellers noted buyer
resistance at these levels. Live
supplies were at least moderate at
mostly desirable to heavy weights.
Slaughter schedules were very
light a several plants trimmed
operations to accommodate
demand. The undertone was
steady at best.
Estimated slaughter of broiler
fryers in Delmarva:
Estimated 11/6 1,746,000; Actual

Market Comment: Prices
trended one’ cent higher on
mediums, balance unchanged.
Trade sentiment was generally
fully steady but becoming cautious
in some quarters. Graded stocks
were in good balance overall.
Gradable offerings were light and
firmly held. Nearby graders and
breakers were a bit less aggressive
than earlier in the week in their
procurement, but most noted this
as more price resistance than a
real decline in interest.

but cautious.
