PROFILE |
 |
What comes first, the chicken or the egg? For Cal-Maine Foods, it's definitely the egg. The company is the largest fresh egg producer in the US, capturing 13% of the market. Eggs and chicken feed (it produces its own) account for 98% of sales. Cal-Maine sells its eggs to supermarkets in 26 states in the mid-Atlantic region and the Midwest, Southeast, and Southwest. The company markets the eggs under the Cal-Maine, Rio Grande, and Sunups brands; others include Farmhouse, laid by uncaged hens, and the licensed Egg*land's Best, a low-cholesterol egg. The company produces 80% of the eggs it sells; contractors produce the rest. Founder, chairman, and CEO Fred Adams Jr. controls more than 70% of Cal-Maine's voting power
