Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

        Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) has entered into an Agreement to Form a Limited Liability Company, Transfer Assets Thereto, and Purchase Units of Membership Therein, dated July 28, 2005 (the “Agreement”), with Hillandale Farms of Florida, Inc. and Hillandale Farms, Inc. (collectively, “Hillandale” herein) and the shareholders of Hillandale, whereby the Company will acquire most of the egg production and marketing operations of Hillandale. The parties to the Agreement will form a new limited liability company, Hillandale, LLC, to which the assets, liabilities and operations of Hillandale to be acquired will be transferred. The two Hillandale companies will be the initial members of Hillandale, LLC for formational purposes. At the closing of the acquisition, the Company will purchase 51% of the Units of Membership of Hillandale, LLC from Hillandale at a presently estimated cost of approximately $30 to $35 million, subject to adjustment upwards or downwards, based upon valuations agreed upon by the parties to the Agreement. The Company will purchase the remaining 49% of the Units of Membership of Hillandale, LLC in essentially equal installments over a period of 48 months following the closing, with the purchase price for the units to be equal to their book value as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. The acquisition will be made for cash, from the Company’s available funds, and borrowings to the extent necessary.

        Hillandale began operations in Florida over 30 years ago and is a major egg production and marketing company in the United States.
