Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) is the largest
producer and marketer of shell eggs in the United States. In fiscal 2007, we
sold approximately 685 million dozen shell eggs, which represented about 15.5%
of domestic shell egg consumption in the United States. Our total flock of
approximately 23 million layers and 5 million pullets and breeders is the
largest in the United States. Layers are mature female chickens, pullets are
young female chickens usually under 20 weeks of age, and breeders are male or
female chickens used to produce fertile eggs to be hatched for egg production
flocks.
Our primary business is the production, grading, packaging, marketing and
distribution of shell eggs. We sell most of our shell eggs in 29 states,
primarily in the southwestern, southeastern, mid-western and mid-Atlantic
regions of the United States.
