We operate farms, processing plants, hatcheries, feed mills, warehouses, offices and other properties located in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Utah.  The facilities currently include two breeding facilities, two hatcheries, 16 feed mills, 29 shell egg production facilities, 19 pullet-growing facilities, 28 processing and packing facilities, and four wholesale distribution facilities.  We also own interests in two egg products facilities and one spent hen processing facility, which are consolidated in our financial statements. Most of our operations are conducted from properties we own.  In addition, we operate approximately 260 tractors and 450 trailers, most of which are refrigerated, as well as feed delivery trucks, shell egg pick-up trucks, “bobtail” delivery trucks and other miscellaneous vehicles.

Presently, we own approximately 17,000 acres of land in various locations throughout our geographic market area.  We have the ability to hatch 15.5 million pullet chicks annually, grow 13 million pullets annually, house 24 million laying hens and control the production of an aggregate total of 26 million layers.  We also own or control mills that can produce 570 tons per hour of feed, and processing facilities capable of processing 8,800 cases of shell eggs per hour (each case contains 30 dozen shell eggs).

 Our facilities are well maintained and operate at a high level of efficiency. Typically, we insure our facilities for replacement value.
