Delmarva Poultry
Thursday, Feb. 5,1987
Market Comment: Demand for
ready to cook whole birds was slow
to fair. Offerings were irregular
from plant to plant but in total
ample for current buyer interest.
Supplies in the parts complex were
in good balance to tight on wings.
Other items ranged at least
adequate and were competitively
priced in an effort to enhance
demand. Los than trucklot asking
prices were unchanged to 3 cents
lower at 48-56 cents, and several
sellers noted product are still
available. Live supplies were at
least moderate. Weights remained
in a spread of desirable to heavier
than desired. Slaughter schedules
were moderately heavy, and some
operations have been set for
Saturday. The undertone was
barely steady to weak.
Estimated slaughter of broiler
fryers in Delmarva:
Estimated 2/5 2,015,000; Actual
1/291,824,000.
Actual 2/3 2,008,000.

Comment: Trading activity wai
light to occasionally fair, and
buyers were very selective in their
purchases. Cutlets were ample at
current price levels, and some
discounting still persisted. Line
one breasts were also ample, and
most sellers did not hesitate to
book at 75 cents. Rib breasts wen
still a struggle with several plants
willing to take line-one prices o*
grade A product in an effort to
keep product clearing. Legs and
leg quarters were at least fully
adequate and overall their
availability has increased. Wings
were in good to close balance, and
a fairly active call was noted in
many quarters.
