± 6 eggs = Profit/Loss
According to Waymon Halbrook, University of Arkansas
Agricultural Economist, in todays poultry economy the difference
between losing and making money on your flock could be in the
last Vz dozen eggs each hen in your house produces. DeKalb
layers are consistently leading the competition in total profit
performance which includes egg numbers. What are you basing
your next pullet chick order on? A penny or two savings on chick
cost? OR 25 c per pullet housed on egg income? That's $15,000
on a 60.000 bird house. YOU BE THE JUDGE!

Delmarva Poultry
Thursday, October 13
Report supplied by USDA
Market Comment: Ready to
cods movement on whole birds is
mixed but moderately good
overall. Clearances at some plants
are noted as keeping stocks well
cleared. Demand for breast items
remain strong in all quarters.
Wings continue to reflect good
movement Legs are somewhat
better where plants shift to an
improved call for quarters but
remain readily available and
difficult to clear elsewhere.
Slaughter schedules are
moderately heavy. Live supplies
are at least adequate overall.
Weights more irregular but
generally desirable to heavy.
Undertone fully steady.
Today’s L.T.L. asking prices are
unchanged on U.S. Grade A at 52-57
cents.
