     during the reporting period.  Actual results may vary from those

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial  
Condition and Results of Operation 
December 27, 1997 
 
 
Financial Condition 
 
Slow movement of export product along with seasonal inventory increases 
resulted in an increase in revolving credit line borrowing, however, total debt
is $4.3 million less than at the beginning of the 39 week period.

The Company's current ratio declined from the March 29, 1997,  level of 2.28 to
1 to 1.99 to 1 at December 27, 1997, however, the debt and total capital ratio
has improved to .47 to 1 from .488 to 1.  The Company's availability under
existing lines of credit was $11,009,000 at December 28, 1996.


Results of Operations 
 
Sales for the 13 weeks ended December 27, 1997, declined by 3.5% as compared to
the 13 weeks ended December 28, 1996, and is attributed to lower prices for 
deboned meat and sharply lower prices for export items.  The quoted market for 
broilers during the quarter averaged 11.6% lower than  a year ago .  In 
addition, the unsettled environment in Asia appreciably slowed movement of 
product slated for that market resulting in heavier than normal inventory 
during the period.  

Sales for the 39 weeks ended December 27, 1997, were 1.8% higher than for the
corresponding period of last year and are the result of 1.8% more production 
volume during the same period.

Gross margins for the 13 weeks ended December 27, 1997, were lower by 2.54% 
(3.7% -vs- 6.24%) due largely to lower selling prices which more than off-set 
feed cost that averaged 8.3% lower than for the same quarter of a year ago.  
Margins for the 39 weeks ended December 27, 1997, were  .8% higher than for the 
39 weeks ended December 28, 1996, due largely to more favorable feed grain cost 
during the period.



Selling, Delivery, and Administrative Expenses

Selling, delivery and administrative expenses were 5.6% and .7% lower 
respectively for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks period ended December 27, 1997, as 
compared to the same period ended December 28, 1996.


Interest Expense

Interest expense for the quarter and 9 months ended December 27, 1997, were 
28.2% and 25.4% lower than the comparable periods ended December 28, 1996, due 
to lower average debt levels and lower interest rates.


Other Income

Other income for the 13 weeks ended December 27, 1997, was 14.7% lower than for 
the same period of a year ago and proceeds resulting from the resolution of a
lawsuit which was included in the year ago numbers.  The 39 weeks' results 
increased 6.7% as compared to the same period of a year ago and is the result
of increased earnings produced by the Company's unconsolidated affiliates.


Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes reflects the Company's tax liability computed
at statutory rates adjusted for available tax credits to which the Company is 
entitled.
