· What goes around will soon come around? Looks like the poultry industry is finally getting its crap together! Bird crap and a lot of it! Or maybe a little less? Less birds and less meat available. Hot weather has really hurt bird weights, along with cut backs (finally) taking its toll. There could actually be some shortages for Labor Day holiday!?
· We could see a good run up in white meat going into the holiday, and with more cutbacks showing up, we could hold the pricing for most of September.
· Other proteins are stronger pricing, and poultry pricing will be catching up shortly.
· Tenders, wings, and thigh (and leg) meat are the hottest items, but breast meat, B/I breast, and hindquarters are very strong too!
· This uptrend is a long awaited event, and it should continue. The industry is cautiously optimistic.
