FLEETWOOD - To anyonewho,
lias ever looked closely at egg ’
exhibits shown during the Farm
Show, Red Wing Farm, Fleetwood,
should be a familiar name. This
laying operation with a capacity
for 45,(W0. birds has been showing
their produce at the Farm Show
successfully since the mid 1900 s. .
As explained by owner, operator,
Gordon Yorgey and. wife, Fern,
they usually win blue ribbons and
superior quality awards every
year. Except for that one year
when their entries in the egg
category got too cold, lowering
their quality.
The Yorgeys have no deep
secrets regarding their success.
They are just careful when making
their selections for exhibition.
Entries must be uniform in size
. . ~ , „ .000 bird operation is son
Andrew, 14, left. Yorgey is also assisted by two other sons,
Joel and Mark.

notes, usually from dairymen that
had small laying houses as a
secondary income, selling their
eggs to small local corner stores.
Their best times for selling eggs
are during the holidays, except for
Caster. Consumers prefer white
eggs at that tune for dyeing pur
poses. Production runs between 90
to 100 cases per day.
At present, the Ydrgey’s operate
two laying houses of their own, the
newest with a capacity of 27,000
birds. This house is fully
automatic, bringing eggs from the
house through the grader. In the
older, smaller building the eggs
are gathered by hand onto racks
which are then taken to the grader.
