Report Supplied By USD A
Trade sentiment was overall no better
than steady. Retail demand was limited
to fair, best for scattered features. Food
service was light to moderate, strongest
into fast food and catering businesses.
Supplies were more than adequate to sat
isfy trade needs. In the parts structure,
trading was fair at best with seasonal in
terest and specials frequently aiding
movement, but present inventories were
usually sufficient. Bone-in breasts were in
good balance, and the remaining parts
were at least adequate or available. In
production areas, live supplies were mod
erate at desirable to heavy, mostly desira
ble weights.
