Different commercial sectors in Lahore prefer specific broiler weight classes; for example, fast-food outlets often favor lighter birds (1.5 kg to 1.8 kg) for portion control, while wet markets and event caterers prefer heavier birds (2.2 kg to 2.5 kg) for higher meat yield. These varying preferences can lead to different pricing structures for specific weight classes.
