Food service was slightly better with
strongest interest going into fast food for
specials. Supplies were usually in balance
with heavier weights at times still more
available. In the parts structure, trading
was light to good with retail ads aiding in

to tight of an active call, leg items and
wings were at least adequate and easy to
locate if needed. In production areas, live
supplies were moderate at mixed, but
mostly desirable weights.
