ARE YOUR BROILERS RUNNING OFF
WITH THE PROFITS?
Sure your present broiler makes nice (jams gets a nice price too 1
BUT--that isn’t the whole story ! How much feed and how fast to
market—are the real “p'oof of the pudojng”.
FOR
EXAMPLE
TRY THE MEATPACKER CROSS BROILER—keep re
cords —you’ll see why your neighbors are putting them on
their farms y
write for folder with more information ( n the GOLDFUS MEAT
PACKER CROSS, citing your neighbuis exper.encts and the im
portance of feed conversion.
