pigs. The latter have not
been sold at the auction
before, and Is indicative of
the expanding swine
production in Lancaster
County. It’s reported that the
Stables have had “a lot of
requests for feederpigs from
feeders and buyers.”
A new auction ring with a
seating capacity for 100
persons will be featured in
the center of the building.
Five ramps will facilitate
movement of livestock into
and out of the Stables. New
scales for the facilities are
expected in about two weeks.
