“An egg in the hand is
worth two in the chickenhouse”
Moyer's Sales rep., Harold Mishler, admires one of Bill Knitter's quality
DEKALB eggs.
How many of your eggs make it safely through the
egg handling maze of cages, nests, belts, washers,
and packers?
There are many ways to look at the vital statistics of
a laying flock. If you’re looking only at egg numbers
maybe you should be looking closer at the bottom line
of your egg gradeout sheet.
KEEP RECORDS AND YOU’LL KEEP DEKALB.
