At Lancaster Poultry Center a sale of 85 075 broilers moved at 13.3 to 14.1, with 98 975 birds sold previously and a July 13 auction listing multiple lots including leghorn fowl and heavy fowl. Numerous lots and buyer names appear with bids and prices, listing companies such as Starr Poultry and Mellinger & Son, though many lots were withheld or not sold.
Delmarva and Georgia broiler prices averaged about one cent lower for the 24 hour period ending 10.30 Friday. Farm reports covered 809 200 head with prices from 12.30 to 13 90. Demand for next week was light as buyers faced sharp competition from southern points. Eastern Shore processors estimated weekend slaughter at 752 000 head versus 1 025 000 last weekend. Broiler feed ratio for week ending July 7 fell to 30 with broilers at 13 99 per pound and mash at 92 23 per ton.
On page two Lancaster yards show 500 sheep traded this week versus 354 last week. Trading remains active as spring slaughter lambs are steady with good and choice grades 60 to 90 pounds for slaughter lambs and 16 to 18 for another grade.
Market unsettled with a confused outlook. Top nearby whites remain fairly well cleared in most areas but softening in others. Mediums also well cleared. Coverage covers Monday July 10 through Friday July 14 in New York.
