IMPORTANT NOTICE
LET US HANDLE YOUR FEEDER PIGS
MORE FEEDER PIG SALES SCHEDULED.
Beginning in September, and every month thereafter, bimonthly Feeder Pig Sales will
be held as a result of increasing receipts and popular demand on the part of both buyers
and sellers.
Feeder pigs consigned to Walter M. Dunlap and Sons must arrive at the stockyards
' between 7A. M. and 11 A. M. the day of the sale. Upon arrival they will be inspected by a
veterinarian, tagged, and then state graded.
The two sales scheduled for September will be held on Tuesday, the 3rd, and Tuesday,
the 17th, starting at 1 P. M. Consignors wishing to tag their pigs on the farm can get the
tags at the state office at the stockyards, not later than 4 P. M. any day preceding the sale,
thereby saving 25 cents per pig.
Consign all your feeder pigs to Walter M. Dunlap & Sons where they will be handled by
a capable and experienced staff, and for further information call 717 —397-5136.
