Broiler/Fryer:  Daily National Broiler Market at-a-Glance   

Trade sentiment was irregular, ranging steady to fully steady in the 
West, at least steady in the East, but steady to weak in the Midwest.  
Retail and food service demand was slow to moderate, at times fairly good 
for retail ads and into some sports bars.  Supplies of all sizes were 
mixed, but overall sufficient and obtainable for trade needs.  Floor 
stocks were adequate.  In the parts structure, movement was fair to 
moderate for mid-week trading.  Tenders and wings were in the strongest 
position with supplies well cleared to tight and held with confidence.  
Breast items were at least adequate or available, and dark meat items 
were balanced to well cleared and moving satisfactorily.  In production 
areas, live supplies were moderate at mixed, but mostly desirable 
weights.
