Babcock layers began setting world records in the late 1930’s and early 1940’5. These
records were set in the Record of Performance tests that were the early comparisons of
breeding results prior to today’s Random Sample tests.
Our 1975 Babcock B-300 layer has the ability to produce more marketable eggs on less feed
over a shorter lay period than her record setting counterparts of the late 1930’5.
The poultry businessman of today knows that feed consumption is extremely important to
his profits The 1975 Babcock 300 layer will produce more marketable eggs because she has
stronger shells The right “package" for poultry profit potential is Babcock B-300 layers
