Net sales were $466.9 million, compared with $394.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2007.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2008, net sales were $1.26 billion, compared to $1.05 billion for the first nine months of fiscal 2007. Net income was $8.8 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, compared with $54.8 million, or $2.70 per diluted share, for the corresponding period of fiscal 2007.

Joe Sanderson Jr, chairman and CEO of Sanderson Farms, said: "Our results for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 reflect difficult market conditions for our industry.
