Delmarva Poultry
Thursday, Mar. 26,1987
Market Comment: Demand for
ready to cook whole birds was
moderate to good and generally
sufficient to keep offerings in good
overall balance. Inquiry for parts
was mixed and selective. Dark
meat items, particularly leg
quarters, cleared with ease at
steadier prices. Wings remained
fully adequate and slow to clear in
several quarters. Cutlets and
breasts were at least adequate,
and the bulk of trading was oc
curring at lower prices. Less than
trucklot asking prices were
generally firm at 45-52 cents. Live
supplies were moderate to light at
varied weights. The undertone was
at least steady. .
Estimated slaughter of broiler
fryers in Delmarva:
Estimated 3/26 1,959,000; Actual
3/192,035,000.
Actual 3/24 2,050,000.
Average Weights 3/24 4.55, 3/17
4.56.
