A4-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 28,1987 Northeast Chicken Parts Thursday, Feb. 26,1987 Comment: Trading activity was very light in total as dealers have generally reported slow business all week, but most expect orders to pick up tomorrow. Cutlets were at least adequate and sellers, who bulked at 1.80 yesterday, were more than willing to take the 1.80 today. Breasts were increasingly available at current price levels with an occasional discount noted. Legs, leg quarters and particularly wings were ample and sellers were struggling to move product.

Delmarva Poultry Thursday, Feb. 25,1987 Market Comment: Demand for ready to cook whole birds and parts is light and unaggressive. Seller offerings are available on all items. Whole breasts were in best balance overall, but even here availability has increased and was at least adequate. Less than trucklot asking prices were un changed at 49-55 cents but several sellers were more than willing to negotiate at lower levels in an effort to stimulate movement. Live supplies were at least moderately heavy. The undertone was barely steady to weak. Estimated slaughter of broiler fryers in Delmarva: Estimated 2/26 2,003,000; Actual 2/191,953,000. Actual 2/24 2,029,000. Average Weights 2/24 4.59, 2/17 4.47. Eastern PA and NJ Poultry Wednesday, Feb. 25,1987 Report Supplied by USDA Market Comment: Prices were unchanged to mostly lower. In creased offerings and generally sluggish sales on the finished product have created a weak and unsettled market tone. Some processors bids noted as low as 10 cents. Offerings generally available through much of March and sellers still seeking line time. Prices Paid at Farm: Light Type Hens: .11%-.14, mostly .11%-12%. F. 0.8.
