HOW LONG SHOULD A
FARROWING CRATE LAST?

this ad six years ago They ought to be good
for at least another six We set up our first confinement farrowing
systems in the 60's They're still in operation today
When you price a confinement finishing, farrowing, or nursery
system, remember this
WHAT A SYSTEM COSTS DEPENDS UPON HOW LONG IT LASTS

1973 Endangered Species
Act, incorporated
cooperative agreements in
order to allow qualifying
states to retain and
strengthen their traditional
wildlife management roles.
This was done out of

want to assist in the
restoration of their own
endangered species and are
in many cases more familiar
with the conservation needs
and biological status of their
resident wildlife - and those
species which may be
headed for trouble - than the
federal government.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife
