PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Cagle’s, Inc. Announces Results for Third Quarter Ended January 2, 2010

Cagle’s, Inc. (CGL-A) reported a net loss of $0.3 million or $0.08 per share for the third quarter of fiscal year 2010 compared to a net loss of $2.5 million or $0.54 per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2009.  For the first nine months of fiscal 2010 net income was $1.6 million or $0.35 per share compared with a net loss of $11.0 million or $2.36 per share for the first nine months of fiscal 2009.

Revenues for the third quarter were $70.4 million down 4.2 % and pounds sold decreased 2.0% both due to a thirteen week period in 2010 versus a fourteen week period in 2009.  For the nine month period revenues were $236.0 million up 4.4% and sales pounds increased 2.7% when compared to the same period in the prior year. Quoted market prices for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 versus the same period last year fluctuated as boneless breast increased 9%, breast tenders increased 15%, wings increased 36%, drums decreased 2%, leg quarters were 6% lower and whole birds without giblets were 12% less.

Cost of sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 decreased 8.2% as compared with the same period last year, from $72.9 million to $66.9 million due to the thirteen week period versus the prior year fourteen week period and a 2.0% decrease in pounds sold coupled with a 7.1% reduction in the cost of feed. For the first nine months of 2010 cost of sales was $220.5 million down 4.2% from fiscal 2009.

Protein suppliers continue to exercise restraint evidenced by poultry egg sets at 2003 levels, cattle herds at 1959 levels and pork breeding inventory down from 2008 levels by three percent. Farmers in this country have provided our industry with record corn production of 13.151 billion bushels and record soybean production of 3.361 billion bushels in addition to what appears to be record South American soybean crops. The protein restraints coupled with excellent feed stock production should be supportive of margins for the remainder of fiscal year 2010.
