Delmarva Poultry
Thursday, Nov. 12,1986
Market Comment: Movement of
ready to cook whole birds was
seasonally slow to fair. Offerings
were irregularly available.
Demand for dark meat and wings
was light for the adequate to ample
offerings and the bulk of trading
was at lower trending prices.
White meat cleared well, par
ticularly rib-on-breasts which
wen short of full call. Less than
trucklot asking prices were un
changed at 55-62 cents with some
spot trading reported with reduced
or no premium attached. .Live
supplies were generally moderate
at mixed weights. Slaughter
schedules continued to be adjusted
to accommodate the lighter call
and were light in total. The un
dertone was just steady at best.
Estimated slaughter of broiler
fryers in Delmarva:
Estimated 11/13 1,803,000; Ac
tual 11/61,741,000.
Actual 11/112,001,000.
Average Weights 11/11 4.45,11/4
4.45.

Market Comment: Too few
prices to report; however, some
limited activity noted at 17-19 cents
farm. Off-farm movement was
light to just fair but expected to
increase as the, holiday draws
nearer. Some plants pulling in
more heavies than normal to offset
the scarcity of light type. Finished
demand was moderate to good but
tempered overall due to the
current canner prices.
Prices Paid at Farm:
Light Type Hens: too few.
F. 0.8. Plant: too tew.
