Do you know what your feed cost is per
lb. of eggs or per dozen of eggs on your
present flock?
Moyer’s offers you the new DEKALB DK
“Inflation fighter” layer. A bird eating .21
lbs. of $2OO/Ton feed will save you 9 C per
100 hens per day over one eating .23 lbs.
of $l9O/Tonfeed.
On a 60,000 bird flock this amounts to
$378 a week difference! This could be the
difference of profit or loss on your next
layer flock.
We’ve got more reasons to look at
Moyer’s DEKALB for your next flock. Give
us a call.
