Da 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* per
100 hens per day over one eating .23 lbs.
of $l9O/Ton feed.
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.
