Trucklot buying interest was mostly
light to fair and generally noted as typi
cal for midweek activity. Supplies of
bone-in breasts were spotty in availabil
ity and were usually trading at premium
levels where additional product was
sought beyond normal committments.
Boneless-skinless breasts were fully ade
quate. Wings were generally well cleared
and the balance of product was at least
adequate. Movement into retail and dis
tributive channels ranged fair to fairly
good, with particular draw noted on
bone-in breasts. The market tone contin
ued fully steady to instances firm on
bone-in breasts, about steady on the bal
ance.
