NATIONAL EGG MARKET - AT A
GLANCE
In the Eastern region, prices were
unchanged to slightly higher. Elsewhere,
prices were unchanged. The market tone
ranged steady to firm, mostly steady to ful
ly steady. Demand was generally moderate
to fairly good at times, and often noted as
improving with seasonal interest Supplies
of all sizes were usually adequate to avail
able. However, in the North Central region,
availability of the lighter weights were li m
iled at times, in addition, offerings of all
sizes were generally light on the West
Coast. Breaking stock supplies were at
least adequate to ample from regular sour
ces, and demand for additional product
continued unaggressive. Light type hens
were fully sufficient for current slaughter
requirements.
