New Starting Shed On George Shield Farm
Pigs at the George Shield farm near Muscatine begin life in a newly completed starting shed designed by Kent Research. The 28 by 64 foot open structure holds eight stalls with slotted floors, glass roof windows, and a midline pangway for waste. Shield plans to house sows and piglets there before moving pigs to pasture at four to five weeks old, with potential drapes or straw walls if winter turns cold.
