DECEMBER 4, 1996
Movement of ready-to-cook whole birds
varied from plant to plant, but generally
remained less than anticipated for early
month. Seller offerings were irregular, but
fully sufficient for current inquiry. Live
supplies were at least moderate; weights
were in a full range of light to heavy. Pro
cessing schedules were moderate to heavy.
Less than trucklot asking prices were
unchanged at 61 to 75 cents. Trade senti
ment was steady. In the parts complex,
bone-in breasts and occasionally wings
cleared well; however, overall movement
was disappointing, and various items were
increasing in availability, particularly leg
quarters.
