Trucklot buying activity remained fair to mostly moderate during midweek                            
trading.  Offerings of breast items were in better balance and were                                 
generally sufficient for current needs.  Tenders and wings were well                                
cleared and held with confidence.  Drums and legs were in good balance and                          
moving well.  Retail and distributive movement was fair.  The market tone                          
was fully steady to firm for tenders and wings; steady for breast items and                          
at least steady to fully steady for dark meat cuts.
