Denver Iowa October 29 George Moeller west of Denver raised pigs using the McLean hog sanitation system. Six Hampshire sows farrowed this spring producing 41 pigs yet only 40 survived with strong growth and 130 to 150 pound weights. A second litter under partial McLean treatment showed poorer gains.

He plans individual hog houses and new alfalfa pastures to cut losses and raise profitability.
