An outstanding
characteristic
of K-137
KimberCHlKS
As of January 1, 1956, K-137
Kimberchiks led in early egg size
in all three official random sample
tests in which they were entered—
California, Missouri, and Utah.
Since large eggs are often worth
100% more than small, and 35-
50% more than medium, this char
acteristic of the K-137 can make a
great difference in income during
the pullet )ear.
The K-137 is also noted for its
good egg quality, both shell and
Ulterior. The high percentage of
firm albumen results in more AA
quality eggs.
The K-137 has good livability...
93.4% to about 18 months in the
three official tests in which they
were entered last year.
We invite you to compare the
performance of this outstanding
stock under jour own manage
ment.
