Cutlets were fully adequate at 1.80. Line one breasts were spotty but adequate for needs at 82 cents. Rib breasts were in good balance and no more than adequate. Legs were fully adequate to occasionally ample and clearances were not that good at current price levels. Leg quarters were ample and difficult to clear today with some product offered out for next week at 29-30 cents. Wings were tight as the demand remained fairly good in most quarters.
