"The Sign of Quality”
Our 1975 model Babcock B-300 layer is the best layer we have produced at
Babcock Farms The 1975 B-300 is superior to previous B-300 layers in two
important profit traits.
1. Less Feed per Dozen Eggs
2 More Marketable Eggs per Bird
Improvements in these two critical profit traits are meaningful to you, our
customers. Our Babcock layer gives you the opportunity to make money. Take
