Trucklot buying interest ranged good to
very good. Supplies of boneless skinless
breasts were tight and buyer inquiries for
immediate needs went unfilled. Most trad
ing was repotted at a solid 2.10 with some
smaller volumes sold at higher prices. The
trade sentiment was firm. Line run bream
were also tight with less than trucklot vol
umes booked at higher trending prices. Leg
quarters were in close balance with imme
diate needs and short of covering buyer
inquiries for next week deliveries. The
trade sentiment was rated fully steady.
Wings continued short of trade needs but
some buyer caution at the higher prices
wu noted.
