Opposite Strategy Advised for Poultry Raisers Hoard Hens
A letter urges poultry raisers to act contrary to neighbors to profit. It notes heavy hog sales depress prices and warns that many hens are being sold now, suggesting patience and selective marketing to avoid low prices. The piece emphasizes practical experience over herd instinct and market timing.
Keep Your Laying Hens Even When Prices Dip
The writer argues against selling laying hens now despite low egg prices and high feed costs. He notes eggs may rise and feed costs fall, making it better to retain productive hens. He adds that poultry receipts are heavy, so a more orderly market should raise prices later. Sincerely, Frank Priebe.
