Trucklot buying interest was irregular
and ranged fair to good. Boneless skinless
breasts were short of meeting a good
demand for immediate needs. Line run
breasts were adequate for trade needs at
steady prices. Legs were fully adequate to
ample for a light buying interest. Leg quar
ters were becoming more available and
buyers became more cautious as first of the
month needs slowed. Wings were avail
able and slow to clear with asking prices
trending lower.
