Trucklot buying activity was light to
fair as dealers attempted to assess the
market during midweek trading. Inclem
ent weather throughout the Northeast
continued to hamper deliveries at times,
which left some dealers piece-mealing or
ders together with existing floor stocks.
Offerings were irregular, but overall,
breast items were sufficient, dark meat
cuts at least adequate and wings were
available. Retail and distributive move
ment was light. The market tone was at
least steady.

New York Broilers/Fryers
Trucklot buying activity on ready-to
cook whole broiler/fryers was light to fair
and unaggressive entering the week as
dealers cautiously assessed the market.
Offerings of all sizes were irregular as
blizzard like conditions in the Northeast
disrupted processing schedules and
limited transportation routes. Retail and
distributive movement was limited. The
market tone was generally steady.
