Report Supplied By USDA
Trucklot buying activity remained light
as trading mainly centered around com
mitted product and the lackluster de
mand warranted a cautious and selective
posture. Offerings of breast items were
available, with spot discounting noted to
stimulate sales. Dark meat cuts were fully
adequate. Wings were readily available
and attractively priced. Tenderloins were
ample. Movement through retail and dis
tributive channels was sluggish. The mar
