A Purdue extension note stresses lambing as the critical period requiring shepherd oversight. It urges fall preparation, strong winter condition, and feeding with clover hay and succulent feeds, plus gradual grain before lambing to ensure milk flow and profitable outcomes. Shelter, dry wool, and exercise are essential, with timed separation of ewes and lambs to boost survival and early strength.
The text advises managing sow weight through winter to maximize milk for the litter. A 50 pound gain helps offset autumn losses, but excessive fat from corn alone harms activity and milk. Balance corn with forage and exercise, provide a clean open shed, and offer supplemental protein. December to February rations shift from corn with pasture to more hay and tankage or shorts, aiming for a three to one corn to shorts mix and gradual tankage additions to yield healthy pigs ready for early market.

The account portrays Potemkin as Catherine the Great’s favorite hosting grand fetes at his military headquarters. Domestic servants actors and jewelers crowd his circle while he awards two dancing officers with field ranks after a weeklong journey.
