HEAVIEST PIG LOSSES usually come at farrowing time.
To prevent losses due to crushing or smothering by the sow,
Strickland designed and built this farrowing stall. The panel
at the left is removed after the sow has farrowed and the
pigs can move about easily Note that pigs can creep both
under the heat lamp and to the left for supplemental feed
