Pacific Northwest Livestock Conference Promotes Sows For Youth
A Portland conference at the Union Stockyards arranged shipment of over a thousand brood sows to youths. Sows priced 18 to 25 dollars, paid with notes eight to ten months at six percent, endorsed by a parent and school superintendent. Proceeds after four to five weeks fund marketable pigs and note repayment. An 11 year old Washougal girl profited 79 dollars on a sow via two litters. The plan is hailed as a landmark in rural education and livestock clubs nationwide.
