Ovei* a period of six weeks re­ cently, during which weekly ship­ ments were made to market, 76 per cent of the hogs shipped foy them were graded ‘A’, and none of their hogs were graded below "Bl'. As a result* they earned • on. every animal the subsidy which is paid out of government funds as a, bonus for quality in hog production. The government bonus is $4.00 for grade ‘A’ hogs, $2.50 for' ‘Bl’, nothing for ‘B2’ or lower. “The right finish” is the key to success in preparing hogs for mar­ ket,. in the opinion of Mr. Klein­ feldt, who is in charge of actual operations at the hogpens. ‘‘The right feeding for the last month is the thing that puts the finish on,” he says, “though if a pig is overfed when it’s young there’s not much hope of getting a select.^’ Mr. Kleinfeldt uses rather more than a ton of feed a day in the big pens at Dublin, where up to 500 hogs are to be found at any one time; he bases his feed schedules on an average of five pounds of feed per hog per day. plentiful use of concentrates is’ a credo with the Reed-Kleinfeldt partnership; their system of feeding calls for three bags of concentrate to a ton of grain feed for the earlier stages of feeding, and two bags of concen­ trate to a ton when the bog becomes larger. 4 Began in July, 1944 Mr. Reed and Mr. Kleinfeldt em­ barked on their large-scale dealings in hogs in July, 1944; their turn­ over now has reached a rate of more than 2,000 animals annually. Seasonal variation have little ef­ fect on the scale of their buying and selling; the turnover keeps their fattening pens at or near ca­ pacity of 500, and on one occasion this summer they had *6'00 hogs, housing the overflow in temporary quarters in an adjacent barn. Three factors says Mr. Reed, have ■ a bearing on success in getting- a high percentage of select gradings; careful selection when buying young pigs for fattening; feeding of gen­ erous quantities of concentrates to provide a balanced ration; careful management by an -expert on hog feeding. Mr. Reed accords his part- ner full Credit for the skill which prevents undue fattening in the latter stages of preparation for market. In order to ensure that the dressed weight’ of the hogs after they are slaughtered will come with­ in the limits of 140 to 170 pounds, Mr. Reed says, care is taken to market the hogs when their live weight falls within the range of 200 to 212 pounds. Weekly Weighing Mr. Kleinfeldt now makes a prac­ tice of weighing his matured hogs on Thursday of. each week, as a guide to selecting the hogs which are ready for the weekly shipment on Fridays. If a hOg shows signs of fattening too rapidly, it .is put on the scales, the weight checked, and the ration is altered according­ ly, in order to prevent it getting away from the ideal lean bacon type. IFrom the time of purchase until the time of marketing, the Reed- Kleinfeldt feeding system calls foi* a period of two to three months. Dp to date they have not branched out into the breeding of hogs, but have specialized in management of the feeding period. The majority of their young hogs they purchase at their own pens, although they have traveled to Stratford to buy young ■hogs, and on one occasion bought 186 hogs at .Stratford in a single day. Records kept by Mr. Reed show that during the last week of Sepr temper and the month of October this year, they sent 112 hogs to market, of which 86 were scored ‘A’ for the top subsidy, 26 were scored ‘Bl’ to earn partial subsidy, and none failed to earn subsidy. The best score was made Oct. 20, when 20 hogs were sent in one ship­ ment, and 19 of them were rated ‘A’; Oct. 12 was another day of success, when 17 hogs were ship­ ped, and 15 of them . were rated ‘A’,Mr. Kleinfeldt has been farming 150 acres near Duplin, as well as managing the hogpens; he plans now to turn management of the farm over to his son, Harold Klein­ feldt, so that he can devote full time to the art of producing hogs which will conform with market requirements.
