Thursday, April 5
Report supplied by USDA
MARKET COMMENT; Prices
unchanged to higher. Cartoned egg
movement remains fair overall;
however, spotty retail features
generally good orders. Nest run
trading is very limited as stocks
are tight and firmly held in most
all quarters. However, the buying
interest for ungraded remains
active and mostly filled unless the
buyer is willing to pay on
premium.
Floor stocks are heavy in
preparation of the holidays, but
many dealers are still willing to
add to their inventories. Undertone
firm.

SiWAY SINCE 19471 C
The customer who received that first delivery of Moyer’s Chicks
in January 1947 was. no doubt, unimpressed with the delivery
vehicle. Six boxes of baby chicks in the back seat of a 1941
Okfsmobile Sedan was indeed a humble beginning!
More impressive was Moyer’s determination to make the
delivery on time and with a minimum of stress. The first challenge
was digging through the snowdrifts in front of the hatchery!
Today Moyer's is no less determined to meet the industry’s
challenges of large volumes of chicks hatched and delivered with
minimal stress. Now Mp/er’s hatches more in one day than the
sum total of 68,000 for the first whole year in 1947.
Deliveries of up to 50.000 chicks per load are made com
fortably year round in Moyer's climate-controlled vans.
Yes, we’ve come a long way, and our sights are set on the
bright new challenging horizon of the future.
