FOWL: Weekly Southeast Region Live Heavy-Type Hens (Mon/Fri)                    
                                                                                

Prices were generally unchanged when compared to the previous week. Demand      
was seasonally fair to fairly good for the sufficient offerings of heavy        
fowl. Processing schedules were reduced due to the Thanksgiving Day             
holiday. Finished product supplies were sufficient for current trade needs.     
The undertone was at least steady to fully steady.
