Sows Should Gain Weight Before Farrowing
Swine experts advise brood sows to gain 75 to 80 pounds before fall farrowing, with yearlings gaining more in summer. Early gestation requires forage crops to avoid grain, followed by light grain and protein supplements late gestation. Fattening sows out of the breeding herd requires about 60 to 90 pounds gain with five and a half pounds of grain per pound gained for profitable fattening.

Shipping losses tied to poor loading and handling methods
College of Agriculture specialists say heavy losses in animal shipments stem largely from improper handling at shipping points. They urge clean cars bedded with sand, dry feed before shipping, and reduced use of clubs and whips. Recommendations cover steering away from overloading and opting for partitioning bulls and other risk animals. They note safe loads: about 21 1000-pound steers, 80–100 hogs, and 152–150 lambs per standard 36-foot car, with hot weather adjustments including water-drenched bedding and ice blocks for hogs.
