North Atlantic Egg Review February 14,1978 North Atlantic egg review: the market is still under the influence of weather related conditions. Prices are 1 cent higher on large and medium whites and 2 cents higher on all sizes of large browns. Cartoned egg movement is moderate but not as ag gressive as last week. Retail prices advanced sharply. Supplies are about adequate and balanced by light in terdealer -trading. Active trading is reported for offer ings of nest runs- Txaijd is beginning to wonder if extra eggs will be available for Easter business. Speed. Quick. Rapid. They all mean a lot of high quality eggs—fast. And,' that means high peaks andgood feed conversion. The New DEKALB XL-LINK that has the whole industry talking is a “Speed Bird." A maximum performer bred to turn out the egg numbers without sacrificing important characteristics like livability and adap tability. She may be just what you need. Ask one of Moyer's representatives to show you some current records of what local XL-LINK flocks look like.
