It Makes A Difference Who Does Packing
Local turkey raisers question why Gallatin county pool sells for 35 cents while Omaha bidders offer four cents more. Harvey Cod of Swift & Co says pricing reflects packing conditions with Swift supplying wrap and boxes and the producer only bringing in birds. Gallatin county and Livingston pools sold to the same buyer for No 1 young toms at 35 and 36. Prices lag behind last year due to many birds of poor quality entering the market.
