Item 9.  REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

         Cagle's, Inc. announced that the sale of its Perry, Georgia Complex,
         which consists of a broiler processing plant in Perry, Georgia and
         a feed mill and hatchery in Forsyth, Georgia to Perdue Farms, Inc.
         of Salisbury, MD was closed today.

         The final sale price was $45,000,000 for the fixed assets.  Certain
         inventories were also sold which were in addition to the announced
         sale price.

         Concurrently with the closing of the sale of the Perry Complex, the
         Company closed a $20 million secured credit facility with a financial
         institution subject to a borrowing base for availability. Proceeds of
         the sale and an initial draw under the new credit facility were
         utilized to pay off existing bank syndicate debt.

         Cagle's, Inc. expects that this transaction will result in a one
         time charge of approximately $22,000,000.

         J. Douglas Cagle, Chairman and CEO stated that with this divestiture,
         the Company, while smaller in production capacity, will be
         restructured into a more efficient and consistently profitable
         company.  With less product subject to the volatility of commodity
         pricing, the company expects to concentrate its efforts toward a
         more value added, premium product mix.
