Gilt Projects
The first pigs born from gilts in

rived last week. The proud owner
is Ronald Reynolds, Jr. As so often
happens the pigs were born on a
cold rainy night. The next day
snow fell until ground was cover
ed. Temperatures that night fell
to 15°.
However, Junior was pretty well
prepared for the extreme condi

was tightly constructed with a
floor. Ample straw, but not too
much was provided.
In spite of efforts to prevent any
loss of the pigs, one of the eight
pigs did not live. The other seven
apparently are doing fine.
Other boys with gilts in the proj
ect are George Griffin Owens,
Dw’ght A'nsley, and David Bames.
