available but most breakers were selective
and worked close with needs. Floor stocks

N.E. Chicken Parts
April 18, 1990
Trucklot buying interest was light and
unaggressive except for wings, which
were short of some traders needs. Supplies
of skinned boneless breasts were generally
well balanced at unchanged prices. Whole
breasts were fully adequate to ample and
excess supplies were traded at lower price
levels. Legs were fully adequate. Leg
quarters were fully adequate to ample
despite fairly heavy retail ad activity and
inquiry for later deliveries. Thighs and
drums were adequate with thighs in the
closer balance with trade needs.
