GLANCE:
Prices were unchanged to higher on
mediums in the Midwest and the Mid-

large sizes were adequate or available, and
mediums were adequate to light. Breaking

barely adequate for the mixed but mostly
moderate demand, and prices trended high
er. Live hen offerings were at least fully
adequate for the limited interest, and the
