Judging 



and older the pigs, the shorter will be the time required 

 to get them to market condition. Although the lighter 

 pigs require a longer feed and do not make such rapid 

 gains, they make more gain from a given unit of feed 

 consumed. For following cattle the heavier pigs are 

 more suitable. 



As much quality should be secured as possible provided 

 general vigor and constitution are not sacrificed. Quality 

 in feeder pigs will insure a finished condition when market 

 weights are reached and will do much to help sell them 

 when ready to ship.
