Delmarva Poultry Thursday, Jan. 8,1987 Market Comment: Demand for ready-to-cook whole birds was mixed but fair overall. Offerings were irregular but adequate and generally more available on 3 lb. and up sizes. Inquiries in the parts complex were unaggressive on all items, however, supplies of white meat were only adequate at best. Discounting was prevalent on legs, leg quarters and particularly wings as sellers thought levels sufficient to stimulate movement. Less than trucklot asking prices were unchanged at 50-58 cents. Live supplies were moderate. Weights were irregular but mostly desirable to heavy. Slaughter schedules were again moderately heavy, and some operations were planned for Saturday. The un dertone was steady. Estimated slaughter of broiler fryers in Delmarva: Estimated 1/8 2,026,000; Actual 1/62,036,000. Average Weights 1/6 4.58, 12/30 4.64.
