Market Comment: Demand for
ready to cook whole birds was
irregular but generally no better
than fair. Offerings were at least
adequate though tight on the
lighter weight sizes. Inquiry for

interest in cutlets and leg quarters
but immediate type needs were on
the light side.

XL&DK
Two layers with distinctly different characteristics... From two
separate research programs.
You don't have to buy from two different companies to get the two top
layers on the market.
The XL shows excellent production under many management
conditions. The OK responds best to finely tuned, close management.
DEKALB Layers are bred to possess the economic traits most
applicable to your operation. You do have a choice... The high
productivity XL or the high efficiency OK.
