Movement of nady-to-cook whole birds
was slow to instances fair. Offerings were
adequate to fully adequate and were gener
ally more readily available on the heavier
sizes. Live supplies were at least moderate;
weights were usually noted as desirable to
heavy. Processing schedules were mod
erate to heavy. Less than tmcklot asking
prices were unchanged at 56 to 70 cents.
Trade sentiment was mostly steady. In the
parts complex, supplies of bone-in breasts
and wings were snug at most plants. Bone
less skinless breasts were irregularly
balanced. Drums were no more than
adequate; however, other leg items were
fully adequate.
