Thursday, March 19,1987
Comment: Trading activity was
fair and not as aggressive as
earlier in the week. Cutlets were in
good balance at current levels, but
resistance was noted at any higher
levels, line-one breasts were in
close balance, but most buyers
found needed supplies at 90 cents.
Rib breasts and wings were barely
adequate to adequate, and the
demand ranged from fair to oc
casionally good. Legs and leg
quarters were still clearing, but
supplies and offerings were at
least adequate for today’s needs.
Overall, both buyers and sellers
were cautious at any further price
increases.
Breasts, skinned, boneless 1.85-
1.90.
Rib-on-breasts .94-.95
Line one breasts .90.
Legs .40-.41.
Leg quarters .30-.31
