The Babcock B-300V is rapidly reestablishing
herself as the world’s top layer. Egg producers w;
flocks well into production are reporting
performance they haven’t seen for years ...
from «ny layer. In many cases, in fact, they are
reporting their best performance ever,

game. Babcock backs us bird with the most pro
fessional, experienced distribution team in the eg]
