Report Supplied By USDA
Movement of ready-to-cook whole
birds was limited to standing commit
ments in most cases. Seller offerings
varied from well balanced to ample on
the 2.25 and 2.5 pound sizes. Heavier
weights were in excess and were com
petiveiy priced in an effort to stimulate
additional buying interest. Live supplies
were about moderate; weights were light
to heavy, mostly desirable to heavy. Pro
cessing schedules were moderate. Less
than truckiot asking prices were 1 cent
lower at 55 to 69 cents. Trade sentiment
remained weak and unsettled. In the
parts complex, all items were at least ad
equate for the very light and cautious
buying interest.
