inquiry. Live supplies were moderate.
Weights were mixed in a full range, but
were desirable overall. Slaughter schedules
were heavy. All plants plan to close Friday
and some will work reduced schedules
Thursday. Operations were also planned
for Saturday. Less than trucklot asking
prices were unchanged to 1 cent higher at
48 to 55 cents. Trade sentiment was fully
steady to higher. In the parts complex,
boneless skinless breasts and wings were
in light supply. Other items were adequate
to fully adequate.
