Report Supplied By USDA
Movement of ready-to-cook whole birds
was somewhat slow and typical of end-of
month, mid-week activity. Sellers were
generally in wait of increased orders for
the upcoming weekend and first-of-the
month. Offerings were fully adequate to
closely cleared on 2.50 to 3.00 pound
sizes; 3.50 and 4.00 pound sizes increased
in availability and were sufficient for im
mediate needs. Live supplies were moder
ate; weights were desirable, occasionally
light. Processor schedules were mostly
moderate. Less than trucklot asking
prices were unchanged at 59 to 68 cents.
Trade sentiment was steady.
