Trucklot buying interest was light this
morning but expected to improve slightly
this afternoon. Supplies of boneless skin
less breasts from nearby shippers were
balanced with the light retail demand
Trading was reported at steady prices. Line
run breasts were irregularly distributed
Current trading was reported at slightly
lower prices; however, the trade sentiment
going into next week was fully steady.
Drumsticks, thighs, and wings were well
cleared at steady prices. Whole legs were
available at some locations but asking
prices were unchanged. Leg quarters con
tinued to straggle under a barely steady
undertone.

Thanksgiving holiday. Supplies were
mostly adequate to closely balanced
