Poultry Center sale shows strong prices amid tighter supply
Live poultry buyers faced limited weekly offerings with only 50 head of poultry per lot and price ranges near 19 to 39 cents for broilers. Large consignments of fowl and cockerels sold in multiple lots with prices often around 210 to 250 per head. Market activity reflected a reluctance to sell due to scarcity, with several lots illustrating varied weights and breeds and a long list of consignors and prices.
