A S Clark Duroc Sow Sale Fails To Meet Peak Prices
The A S Clark sale of pure bred Duroc sows and gifts at the Clark farm four miles north of Terri Sat- Way drew buyers mainly from Dickinson and Emmet counties, with only two out-of-state purchases. Thirty nine sows averaged 37 dollars, top at 60 dollars to Schacharer Brothers. Poor roads kept many away, contributing to a softer outcome than prior local sales, though Clark’s herd remains highly regarded.
