Recognized for Production
KENNETT SQUARE - PPAB, a
Chester County feeder pig
cooperative, was recently
recognized by Pig Improvement
Company, Inc., for outstanding
production last year, weaning 22.31
pigs per sow for the year. Located
two miles from Kennett Square,
this 480-sow farrowing operation
has been a reliable source of feeder
pigs for its six owners, Roy
Slaymaker, Jack Hess, John
Hamish, Rube Stoltzfus, Melvin
Fisher and Clyde Slaymaker.
Since its inception in 1978, PPAB
has shared its production expertise

Butt feels there is a strong
correlation between healthy and
productive breeding stock. Using
PIC Line 24 boars and Cam
borough gilts produced in a closed
herd system, Ron and his
assistant, Nelson Horst, produced
10,127 feeder pigs in 1985.
Ron summarizes by saying that
each year PPAB improves a little
bit more. “We rely on PlC’s testing
and selection program for our
genetic improvement, while we
continue to develop the potential of
our facilities and management.”
