Trading activity remained light and
unaggressive despite a willingness by
many sellers to negotiate on most items.
Cutlets interest continued to decline and
supplies were ample for current needs.
Breasts increased in availability and were at
least fully adequate at current price levels.
Legs and leg quarters were not as freely
offered as other items but sellers still
straggled to maintain clearances. Wings
were ample and slow in clearing with some
tracklot volumes sold in the low to mid
30’s.
