· Boring…would be a good description for this week’s poultry market. Turkey is still on the brain for this week’s features, and no one seems to care about next retail needs.
· Most poultry producers are working a shorten week this week, either 3 or 4 work days, but demand is also mixed.
· Market fairly steady this week, except wings still going nuts.
· Dark meat has tightened up, especially thigh meat. Availability on fresh thigh meat is very tight and freezer stocks have dried up.
· Tenders and wings are still the hot, hot items with limited quantities.
· Overall the poultry situation has stabilized and is expected to advance in December. More cut backs will limit supplies and demand should increase for the holidays.
