Area Hog Farm Gets Top Award
Reno H. Thomas of Beaver town Snyder County won the Ford Farm Efficiency Award for a Yorkshire herd with a five year average of 10.2 pigs weaned per litter and a peak 10.7. His hogs gain 100 pounds on 260 pounds of feed, with mixed rations from 18 to 12 percent. He furrows 100 to 125 sows and uses a two day self feeder then pasture after weaning. He aims for 210 pounds by four to five months and notes 95 percent No. 1 grade. Thomas works in a remodeled barn with a concrete floored pen for pigs. This low investment system yields good results.
