Swine Building Meets Needs At R Ranch West Of Here
JOAN ISTAS reports a new swine building on the R. B. Ranch near here built from a Kansas State University stock plan. The 28 foot wide facility includes a 10 foot manure pit and 18 foot concrete floor with self feeders and waterers in each pen. Anderson plans 800 head capacity with eight square feet per hog, though pens often house up to 50 pigs. A lagoon waste-disposal system funded by a REAP grant now meets state requirements. Hogs are finished in a single locality, improving handling and grading. He ships to Wilson Certified Foods in Kansas City, noting premiums of 90 cents to $1.74 per cwt since moving in.
