Thursday, December 11,1986
Comment; Trading was mixed in
the breast complex, light and
unaggressive on leg items. Cutlets
had moved into a slightly better
balance and sales below $1.75 level
were becoming less prevalent.
Line one breasts have cleared for
the most part, and sales and a
willingness to buy at 75 cents was
apparent. Rib breasts were
clearing much better as retail
feature interest has drawn sup
plies tighter in several quarters.
Legs and leg quarters continued in
ample supply, and were slow in
clearing. Wings were adequate at
current price levels.
Breasts, skinned boneless-1.75.
Rib-on-breasts- .70-.80.
