Chicken Parts
Wednesday, February 17, 1993
Trucklot buying interest ranged light to
fair. Supplies of boneless skinless breasts
were in close balance with current needs
and available product was well cleared.
Line run breasts were irregularly distri
buted with most trading reported at
unchanged prices. Buyers continued to be
quite cautious and most limited receipts to
standing commitments and await further
market developments. All dark meat items
were sufficient for current demand and
trading was reported at unchanged prices.
Wings were in close balance with imme
diate needs and trading was reported at
higher trending prices; however, the senti
ment was steady.
