Demand for ready-to-cook whole fryers
was generally fair, about as expected. Sup
plies of 3 pound and over sizes readily
available. In the parts complex supplies of
cutlets and wings were in close balance for
the current buyer interest, while legs and
leg quarters were more than adequate. Less
than trucklot asking prices were unchanged
at 63-71 cents. Live supplies were adequ
ate. Average weights were mostly desir
able. Slaughter schedules were moderately
fieavy. Trade sentiment was steady.

Tmcklot buying interest was light to fair
and generally best on wings and tight sup
plies of breast items. Cutlets were in light
supply; however, demand was only fair at
best. Whole breasts were generally no
more than adequate and the marketplace
was in anticipation of higher trending
prices. Legs were fully adequate and slow
in clearing, while leg quarters traded as
low as 29 cents delivered in an effort to sti
mulate movement. Wings were adequate to
barely adequate.
