These little pigs won't be ready for market for a few weeks Yet—but with all the
fine growthy development they're showing,now,--it won't be long till they're on
their way to Britain as Select Grade Wiltshires — to boost the reputation for
Canadian Bacon that Canadian Farmers have been building on the overseas
market for the past five years.
Well-informed hog growers know that careful feeding of the young pigs, from
the first nibble they take, makes the difference between economical gains that
ensure profits, and unprofitable, long-term feeding.
Baby pigs will start to look around for solid food at three weeks of age. If you
don't give them their own, they'll try their mother's ration. Then is the time
toget them feeding right—which means creep feeding of SHUR-GAIN Pig
Starter—the baby pig feed that has the well-balanced content of proteins, min-
erals and vitamins that are needed by every young pig.
SHUR.-GAIN 18% Pig Starter costs you les,s—because we make it FRESH at
our own milk-which means tremendous savings in trucking and handling that
are passed along to you in better quality feed at lower cost!
