Current Broiler Prices Edge Up Versus Latest Quarter
Broiler prices in 1957 sit above the last quarter of 1956 but below the same period in 1956 and well under 1955. Poultry Marketing Specialist Kermit Schlamb says prices likely won’t rise much until supply aligns with demand, with USDA noting no clear trend. Broiler chick placements in early 1957 rose about 6 percent year over year, while 1956 placements exceeded 1955 by over 17 percent. low late-1956 placements help explain the modest 1957 price uptick. February cold storage broiler holdings rose 2.764 million pounds from a year earlier, and only 12 percent of marketed broilers are sold frozen.
