Because there’s a lot of money involved. In 1975 you have two choices. Layer A or Layer B. Layer A will lay eggs with nice shells for 12 to 14 months. You can buy this bird today. Not from Babcock. But from several of our competitors. In 14 months she'll lay about 230 to 240 eggs. With pretty good shells. But there’s a catch. She’ll only peak at 80 to 85 percent. And chances are it will take an 18 percent protein laying mash to get an 85 percent peak. Then she’ll drop off to 50 to 60 percent the rest of the year. At Bab cock's we were breeding layers better than this 30 years ago. Layer B will lay eggs with good shells for 10 or 11 months. Then she’ll slip some on shells. But in 10 months she'll lay about 230 to 240 eggs with good shells.- You can buy this layer from Babcock. The Babcock B-300. So think about it. Why buy a bird that takes 14 months to lay 230 to 240 nice eggs when you can buy a B-300 that will lay around 230 to 240 nice eggs in 10 months? Right now our goal per bird housed is 280 eggs in 52 weeks with good egg size along with good shells for the whole 52 weeks. We are making excellent progress. Switch to Babcock for 1975 and the years ahead. You’ll be happy with your Babcock B-300’s P.O. BOX 285 LITITZ, PENNSYLVANIA 17543 TELEPHONE (717) 626-8561 Canners 19.50-23.00, Shelia down to 15.00.
