Atlanta, Ga.
October 30,2002
Report Supplied By USDA
Trade sentiment was at least steady in
the East, generally steady elsewhere. Re
tail demand was slow to fair with limited
ad activity. Food service was light to
moderate, best where fast food specials
were active. Supplies of heavier weights
were well balanced in the East with some
premiums, but ample in the West; smaller
sizes were adequate. In the parts struc
ture, trading was mixed. Breast items
were in the best balance, at time closely
cleared for bone-in. Dark meat was fully
sufficient, and wings were in the longest
position with little interest In production
areas, live supplies were moderate.
Weights were in a full range.
