The businessman’s
bird is back!
Between 1972 and 1973 an old friend of the
commercial egg producer quietly slipped from view.
Most producers call her the best feathered friend
they ever had. They’ve missed the “old” B-300
sorely in the last few years. And they’ve told us so.
When the “old” B-300 - - we call her the
B-300V - - retired from Random Sample Testing in
1973, she had an unmatched record of consistent
performance. More importantly, she was a legend
in her time. . .in the field. . .in your poultry house.
She made businessmen out of thousands of
poultrymen. She was the standard to which com
petitive strains compared their performance.
The B-300V was nearly perfect for the times.
But we knew that times were changing. We knew
that tomorrow’s top layer had to have a stronger
eggshell. We were committed to making the B-300V
Consistency:
The only layer to place first or see*
(lOFCC) in every USDA 2 - year o
Random Sample Summary between
and 1973, her last year of entry
Efficiency:
The top average feed converter in the
USDA 2 - year combined Random Sample
Summaries of any bird entered for more
than 2 consecutive years between 1966
and 1973. (With the exception of another
Babcock strain entered between
1970 and 1973.)
Reliability:
The B -300 V is a time - tested perform©
farm, under the real - life conditions yo
day - in and day - out. That’s how she
“businessman’s bird”. . .the first choice
producers wherever eggs are produced at
profit!

tomorrow’s top layer. Tomorrow is here.
For the past 5 years, the B-300V has been in a
concentrated program of eggshell improvement. It
has paid off in results. . .without sacrificing the
performance that made her your top choice in the
“good old days.”
Dust off your old records and take another
look. Better yet, ask your Babcock distributor for
his latest performance data on the B-300V.
Try a flock. Compare it to the best of your
present stocks. We know you’re going to be pleas
antly surprised.
The businessman’s bird is back. . .and better
than ever before. The B-300V.
So.mething new is hatching at your Babcock
distributor’s. . .today!
