Taking gestating sows out of the
“maddening crowd" and putting
them into their own individual
stalls with a Chore-Time feeding
system is the way to bigger litters,
better litters, more litters from
each sow, and more money for
you to keep. Farmers can get
back $l6 or more for every dollar
invested in a Chore-Time Sow
Feeding System.
Young Fanners will have priority
given to their samples.
Anyone is welcome to observe
Shenk and his work with the in
