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* 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.
