White River swine reportBy Dayton WilleySpecial to the Herald TimesMEEKER | This week’s meeting we talked about a lot of things with 4-H leader Todd Morris and our president Nate Walsh. At the 4-H council meeting on March 13 we learned what we need to look for in a pig and how much feed does each pig need to eat by the time fair is here. The next thing is how much should each pig gain in one day, which is about two or three pounds per day. We also learned how to keep our pigs wormed every month, as well as what side the pig hut should be on in our pens.Thank you very much. Make sure you read the next swine report. Our next meeting is on April 17, 2011.
