Report Supplied By USDA
Trade sentiment was fully steady to
firm in the West, no better than steady to
barely steady in the Northeast, steady in
remaining areas. Retail demand ranged
slow to good, best where features were in
progress and in anticipation of first-of
the-month needs. Food service was light
to fairly good, best into fast food areas
with ads. Supplies were usually sufficient
for trade needs. In the parts structure,
breast items were in good balance to tight
and continued to trade at premium levels.
Wings were increasing in availability and
dark meat was mixed, however clearing
well. In production areas, live supplies
were moderate at weights in a full range.
