THE TOUGH FARROWING CRATES EASY TO CLEAN - There’s a minimum of places for manure to hang up and the round side-rails make clean-up easy. This means better sanitation and longer crate life. Northco Farrowing Crates in use since 1968 are still in good condition. LABOR-SAVING - Northco Farrowing Crates can raise more pigs with less labor. Automatic feeding, watering and controlled manuring reduce the “busy” work of farrowing and increase the time available for management. PIG-SAVING - Farrowing crates can help you wean an extra pig or more per litter according to customer experience and university research. Those extra pigs add up to extra profit for you. Heavy-gauge, galvanized steel construction makes Northco Farrow ing Crates tough... to stand up to hog-house abuse. But Northco Farr owing Crates are more than strong. Optional manual metering hopper is available for use with an overhead fill system. * St k 1 sX I j For more information complete this coupon and return to - I THOMAS FARM SYSTEMS, INC. 57 W Mam St., Leola, PA 17540 j NAME I ADDRESS | CITY !
