4.  Use of Estimates
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
     and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
     the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
     during the reporting period.  Actual results may vary from those
     estimates.

5.  Investments in and Receivables from Unconsolidated Affiliates.
     The Company accounts for its investments in (5) unconsolidated affiliates
     using the equity method.  The Company's share of earnings from these
     affiliates totaled $930,573 for the 13 weeks ended October 2, 1999 and
     $1,943,573 for the 26 weeks ended October 2, 1999.  The earnings reported
     for the 14 weeks and 27 weeks ended October 3, 1998 were $1,769,000 and
     $3,671,000, respectively.


6.  Year 2000 Compliance
     The Company implemented a formal plan to address issues associated with
     the Year 2000 during 1998 as these issues relate to systems throughout
     the Company and with vendors and customers.  Progress is monitored
     regularly and the status is reported to the Board of Directors quarterly.
     The Company completed its last major hardware and software system
     conversion during the quarter just ended.  All systems, internal and
     external, (i.e. vendors and customers), will continue to be monitored
     throughout the remaining time leading up to 1/1/2000.  Substantially all
     of the Company's compliance projects are complete and the total cost is
     expected to be less than $500,000.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

October 2, 1999


Financial Condition


Although margins have declined due to lower market prices when compared to
year ago levels, the Company remained profitable for the quarter and six months
ended October 2, 1999.  The Company has utilized the cash flow generated by
continued profits to reduce debt and fund capital needs of the new Perry
Processing facility and the new Rockmart, Georgia feed mill.  A new
credit facility has been negotiated to fund the $54 million required for the
above mentioned projects and has been closed subsequent to the end of the
quarter.  The total credit facility will be comprised of a $72,750,000 term
loan and a $40,000,000 revolving credit facility.


Results of Operations
Sales for the 13 week period were 10.5% lower than for the same period of a
year ago and is attributed to the extra week included for the comparable
quarter last year and somewhat weaker market prices, especially for white
meat.  Sales for the 26 week period were 3.6% lower than for the 27 week
period of a year ago and, as for the quarter, was attributed to the one week
difference along with overall lower market prices.
Gross margins for the quarter were 4.8% lower than for the same period of a
year ago and 2.2% lower for the 6 month period as compared to year ago margins.
The lower margin is the result for lower market prices for broilers and white
meat items as well as export products, predominately leg quarters.  The market
impact was offset to some extent by lower feed grain cost.  Feed cost averaged
9.2% less for the 13 weeks and 11.5% lower for the 26 week periods when
compared to the same periods of a year ago.

Selling, Delivery and Administrative Expenses


As a classification these expenses were up 3.9% for the quarter and 10.0% for
the six month period as compared to a year ago.  This increase is attributed
primarily to increased professional fees associated with ongoing litigation
and increased management staffing in preparation for the new processing facility
under construction in Perry, Georgia.


Interest Expense

Interest Expense for the quarter was 49.1% lower than for the comparable
quarter and 37.1% lower for the six month period of a year ago due to reduced
debt levels and the allocation of $144,934 of interest to the ongoing capital
projects.

Other Income
  Other income declined by 48% for the quarter and 45.5% for the 6 month
period when compared to the same periods of a year ago and is the result
of losses incurred in the start-up of the Kentucky Joint Venture Company.

Income Taxes
  The provision for income taxes reflects taxes at statutory rates adjusted for
available tax credits to which the company is entitled.
