In light of the recent announcement that China will begin shipping processed chickens to the USA and the glut of chickens in the US at this time, do you know if the decision has anything to do with the chicken processing plants in China that are owned by Tyson?

Sylvest Farms, a poultry processor here in Montgomery, that has been in business since 1948, is in bankruptcy and shutting down it's operations soon,
is selling leg quarters for $.17 lb. in 40 lb. boxes.

Do we really need these chickens coming from China?

Just wondering if you had found a connection yet, Agman. You said you would work on it and get back with me. Thanks.

RM posted the correct process which I affirmed if you read my response to his post. I thought that would suffice to answer the question. What part is unanswered?

All poultry producers are selling leg quarters at $.17 per pound. The losses per bird at Sylvest I have been told approached $1.50 per bird. At that rate it does not take long to wipe out a ton of equity. The industry kills approximately 160 million chickens per week-you do the math.

It is the concentration game.
