Movement of ready-to-cook whole
birds was generally no better than fair.
Seller offerings varied in volume and
size but were fully sufficient for current
inquiry. Live supplies were mostly mod
erate; weights were mostly desirable to
heavy. Processing schedules were mod
erate to moderately heavy. Less than
trucklot asking prices were-unchanged
at 58 to 72 cents. Trade sentiment was
steady. In the parts complex, leg quar
ters continued to clear satisfactorily.
Other items were at least adequate for
the generally light and selective buying
interest. ACTUAL SLAUGHTER
