Jesse opened the meeting with the 4- H pledge. Then our secretary read the min- utes from the last meeting. Our roll call of the night was, "What are the main types of swine barns?" The answer was nursing barns, finishing facility and farrowing stall and dry sow facility. Barn building contest Then the leaders told us about the barn building contest. We all have the chance to build a swine barn and it will be put into the Seaforth fair. We then worked in our books and read about how big the pig pen should be and the different types of flooring. We then talked about a whole bunch of adventure camps or days going on throughout the year. At our next meeting we will be dis- cussing temperature, humidity and ventilation. A guest speaker is coming in to talk to us about hous- ing and the building of swine barns. We ended the meeting with cookies and juice. Our next meeting will be Wed., June 18 at the Winthrop church.
