Christiana, Pa, • LANCASTER FARMING CLASSIFIED ADS Feed a High Quality Laying Mash Feed the very best quality laying mash you can find in your locality Try to buy it at the best possible price If you are feeding a “price feed” and not getting top lay, I suggest that you put one pen of pullets onto the best quality mash you can find and see what happens You should see a difference in two to four weeks It is a mistake to feed a ration that contains coarsely ground particles of grain that the birds can sort out from the rest of the mash This usually causes poor production and trouble from cannibalism Babcock Customers Well Informed.
