Princeton farm owner Byron DeFreese operates the longest continuous Duroc line and a fully inbred, self contained herd. A Japanese firm recently bought a 10,000 dollar boar, with shipping and veterinary costs pushing total above 12,000. DeFreese credits hard work, limited visibility, and a strict breeding program for steady demand from North Carolina to Japan.

Treated Alfalfa Silage Doubles Steer Gains
USDA scientist Dale R. Waldo reported at a joint animal science meeting that steers fed alfalfa silage treated with formaldehyde and formic acid gained about double the weight of those fed untreated feed. Treated silage improved protein preservation and nitrogen retention, potentially lowering feed needs and meat prices, though FDA approval for formaldehyde use is pending.
