Mr. SUllinga, "our hogs 'required an average of 5Va
to t months to top out. Out 'last sale of hogs showed
that they nade their, market weight ,ln only 4Vt
ihonths and almost all of them sold at premium prices.
'"Finishing hogs this much faster, means we save,
up tg four weeks in feed costs. In a year's time, with
the 600 head we plan tcr raise this year, this saving
projects into a figure of 85 tons of feed earned, or
more than $2,000. .' . ( ' .' '
