Babcock B-300 layers from Babcock Farms will provide you the best opportunity to “cash
in" on the higher egg prices anticipated in the future. Our Babcock B-300 will lay the most
marketable eggs you can sell, at good prices, in the shortest length of time. Here’s Why!
Today’s cost of feed emphasizes the importance of a layer that will produce a high volume of
quality eggs in a short time. Our Babcock B-300 layer will do just that for you. May we have
your next chick or started pullet order?
