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 sec* (lOFCC) in every USDA 2 - year o Random Sample Summary betwecr and 1973, her last year of entry. Efficiency: The top average feed converter in the USD A 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 performer farm, under the real - life conditions you day - in and day - out.
