Wendell Hansen Delivers Forty-Three Thousand Poults To Local Producers Wendell Hansen, owner of the local Ranchway Feeds company, reported Monday that 43,000 preseason pre-season turkey poults had been delivered to local growers. Because Be-cause of the scarcity of poults, Mr. Hansen is touring the west coast area this week in an effort to purchase more of the baby birds for local growers. Mr. Hansen attributes the short supply of preseason birds to cold weather which has retarded re-tarded the start of the laying season fcr turkey hens. The majority ma-jority of the poults received has come from California and Oregon Ore-gon hatcheries. The largest local lo-cal shipment was 14,000 poults and went to Cecil Hansen, John Pulley has received 9.000 to date, Francis Pulley 8,000, Mary Pulley 6,000, Adolphus Pulley 4,500 and Paul Jonsson 2,000. Local growers have experienced; considerable difficulty in brooding brood-ing the poults because of the severe winter. At times they have been plagued with fuel and feed shortages and the continued cold weather has made fuel bills mount steadily. The first-birds were received Jan. 3 and have run the full gauntlet of winter weather. Mr. Hansen recently opened his new livestock and poultry feeds plant in the Cecil Hansen building build-ing on 82 North Grant Avenue, He is affiliated with the Colorado Milling Company of Denver and also provides broiler and turkey financing for local poultrymen. Turkey growers, according to Mr. Hansen, are optimistic about receiving a good return for their birds this fall because of the known shortage of turkeys in storage at the present time. |
